Route description
In the Panhandle Highway 3 begins at the Colorado state line 19 mi (31 km) north of Boise City, Oklahoma. At this terminus, it is triplexed with U.S. 287/U.S. 385. It remains triplexed with the two federal routes until reaching Boise City, where it encounters a traffic circle which contains five other highways. After the circle, U.S. 385 splits off, and OK-3 is quadriplexed with U.S. 287, U.S. 56, U.S. 64, and U.S. 412, though U.S. 56 and U.S. 287 both split off within the next eight miles.

Through Oklahoma City Beginning at the split from U.S. 81, Highway 3 becomes a major artery in the Oklahoma City highway system, commonly known as the Northwest Expressway because it is a diagonal route and because it serves the northwestern part of the metro area. It skirts the northern limits of El Reno before entering the Oklahoma City limits. The often-congested Northwest Expressway passes through the suburb of Warr Acres and passes close to Lake Hefner.

OK-3A OK-3 has one lettered spur, OK-3A, which continues the alignment of the Northwest Expressway for two more miles before ending at Interstate 44. It was originally known as OK-66A, a spur off of Route 66, which once ran through the area. The combined effect of U.S. 66 being decommissioned and "3A" being a more logical name for an extension of Highway 3 led to the name change.
