| Existed | 1990[5]–present |
U.S. Route 169 Business (US 169 Bus.) is a 3.1-mile-long (5.0 km) business route in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The route was established in 1990 along former sections of Iowa Highway 7 (Iowa 7) and US 20. Iowa 7 had recently been truncated to its current eastern end at US 169, and US 20 had been rerouted onto a new freeway south of Fort Dodge. Since both routes had viaducts over the Des Moines River, officials in Fort Dodge wanted the Iowa Department of Transportation to maintain the bridges.[5] From its creation until 2014, the route was officially known as Iowa 926, but it was only signed as US 169 Bus.[6] The entire route is in Fort Dodge, Webster County.
