Normal Route 66 Monument Sign

Pine St. at Beech St., Normal IL

East < GO > West

These signs are popped up in Illinois in preparation for the Centennial of Route 66 in 2026. This thing is 43 feet long, the letters are 8 feet tall and the Route 66 shield is 10 feet tall. That's big, but it's still pretty easy to miss because it sits back quite a bit from Pine Street. Similar (but smaller) monument signs can be seen in Carlinville, Chenoa, Edwarsville, Lexington and McLean.
