U.S. Route 169 Business is a 3-mile-long (4.8 km) business route in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The route was established in 1990 along former sections of Iowa Highway 7 (Iowa 7) and U.S. Route 20. Iowa 7 had recently been truncated to its current eastern end at U.S. Route 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.[4] From its creation until 2014, the route was officially known as Iowa Highway 926, but it was only signed as Business US 169.[5] The entire route is in Fort Dodge, Webster County.
