Continuing north, the route passes through Cushman and Mount Pleasant.

Arkansas Highway 69 begins in Poinsett County and heads east from AR 163.

The route runs east then north to terminate at US 412B/AR 135 in downtown Paragould.

[1] As cities have grown, bypasses have become necessary, and the former downtown alignments of AR 69 have become the business routes discussed here.
