| 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.

| Length | 8.9 mi [7] (14.3 km) |
| Existed | 1996–present |

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.

Interstate 35 (I-35) is a major Interstate Highway in the central United States. As with most primary Interstates that end in a five, it is a major cross-country, north–south route. It stretches from Laredo, Texas, near the Mexican border to Duluth, Minnesota, at Minnesota State Highway 61 and 26th Avenue East. The highway splits into I-35E and I-35W in two separate places, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex in Texas and at the Minnesota twin cities of Minneapolis–Saint Paul.

It parallels U.S. Route 75 for nearly its entire route, never much more than 100 miles (160 km) away, until it veers southwest in Houston, Texas. Its number is out of place since US 59 is either concurrent with or entirely west of U.S. Route 71. The highway's northern terminus is 9 mi (14 km) north of Lancaster, Minnesota, at the Lancaster–Tolstoi Border Crossing on the Canada–US border, where it continues as Manitoba Highway 59.

U.S. Route 53 also ends here. On the other side of the bridge, Trans-Canada Highway is an east–west route while Ontario Highway 71 is a north–south route. US 71's southern terminus is between Port Barre and Krotz Springs, Louisiana at an intersection with U.S. Route 190. For the entirety south of Kansas City, Missouri, US 71 runs parallel and concurrent with the existing and future Interstate 49.

The entire route from Eau Claire to the city limits of Superior is a four lane divided highway. The highway's northern terminus is at the Fort Frances–International Falls International Bridge in International Falls, Minnesota, at the Canada–US border. Its southern terminus is in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at U.S. Highway 14.
U.S. Highway 218 (US 218) is an original United States Highway that was created in 1926.
