About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
A Route 66 shield adorns the 1926 - 1940 alignment of the old road shortly
before you reach the bridge. The bridge was restored in 2017. It was
added to the National Register of Historic Places 2003.
