Fort Dodge business loop

U.S. Highway 169 Business

Location	Fort Dodge, Iowa
Length	3.147 mi^[4] (5.065 km)
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.

Shakopee business route

U.S. Highway 169 Business

Location	Shakopee, Minnesota
Length	8.9 mi^[7] (14.3 km)
Existed	1996–present

U.S. Highway 169 Business is a business route in Shakopee, Minnesota. Initially, US 169 took the route of the current business route, going through downtown (co-signed with MN 101) and ending at MN 13. However, in 1996, US 169 was built to bypass around the southern portion of Shakopee to align with the newly built Bloomington Ferry Bridge, which carries US 169.

Between 1996 and early 2015, the previous US 169 had been redirected south and had a at-grade intersection with what was then called CSAH/CR 69. However, in early 2015, a bridge was made over US 169, gaining the US 169 Business signage a year later.
