East < GO > West

The original 1926 Route 66 intersected with highway 84 about 8.75 miles north of I-40. The aren't any markers here so the easiest way to find the spot is to look for milepost 71 at the driveway for what looks like a power substation on the east side of 84.

GPS: 35.100861, -105.021557

The old road is abandodned, on private property and not aceesable here.

x 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
xDid 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.
