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.
