'''U.S. Route 169 Business''' ('''US&nbsp;169 Bus.''') is a {{convert|3.1|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} [[business route]] in [[Fort Dodge, Iowa]]. The route was established in 1990 along former sections of [[Iowa Highway 7]] (Iowa&nbsp;7) and [[U.S. Route 20 in Iowa|US&nbsp;20]].  Iowa&nbsp;7 had recently been truncated to its current eastern end at [[U.S. Route 169 in Iowa|US&nbsp;169]], and US&nbsp;20 had been rerouted onto a new freeway south of Fort Dodge.  Since both routes had [[viaduct]]s over the [[Des Moines River]], officials in Fort Dodge wanted the [[Iowa Department of Transportation]] to maintain the bridges.<ref name="Helling Retro">{{cite news|url=http://www.messengernews.net/page/content.detail/id/514957/Retro-road-trips-still-available-for-today-s-driver.html?nav=5007|title=Retro road trips still available for today's driver|last=Helling|first=Jesse|date=May 3, 2009|work=[[The Messenger (newspaper)|The Messenger]]|access-date=October 2, 2010|location=Fort Dodge}}</ref>  From its creation until 2014, the route was officially known as Iowa &nbsp;926, but it was only signed as US&nbsp;169 Bus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Actions taken by the Iowa Transportation Commission at its Nov. 4 meeting in Ames|url=http://www.news.iowadot.gov/newsandinfo/2014/11/actions-taken-by-the-iowa-transportation-commission-at-its-nov-4-meeting-in-ames.html|publisher=Iowa Department of Transportation|access-date=November 18, 2014|date=November 4, 2014}}</ref>
