Like
the east Gateway this one comes in two pieces, one on ech side of the
road. Southwest Boulevard runs right next the railroad tracks here,
as the train in the background shows.
In
2016 a new sculpture, "Floating Hanger" was install next to
the Route 66 West Gateway. The Reno artist, Eileen Gay, created the
mosaic sculpture which depict various stages of transportation history
in Tulsa.
Among
other local highlights the Frisco locomotive 4500 is featured in this
outstanding mosaic sculpture.
Shown
across from the Frisco locomotive in this wonderful work of art is an
oil well and pump.
A
series of historic markers stand next to the sculpture. This one has
a map and legend.
Individual
Markers highlight local landmarks.
The
Route 66 Gateway is located at the Crystal City Shopping Mall.

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.
