Current maps do not include old Route 66.
Route 66 is 2448 miles long. (about 4000 km)
Route 66 was commissioned in 1926, picking up as many as possible bits and pieces of existing road.
Route 66 crosses 8 states and 3 time zones.
Route 66 starts in Chicago, and ends in L.A. (Santa Monica).
Some people think driving it in the opposite direction is historically wrong, but it's mainly a lot harder as all available documentation goes the "right" way.
In 1926 only 800 miles of Route 66 were paved. Only in 1937 Route 66 got paved end-to-end.
You can only drive parts of Route 66 these days... it has been replaced by the interstate highways I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15 and I-10, but still a surprisingly high amount of old road is waiting to be found by the more adventurous traveler.
Route 66 is also know as "The Mother Road", "The Main Street of America" and "The Will Rogers Highway".
During all of its life, Route 66 continued to evolve, leaving many abandoned stretches of concrete, still waiting to be found by the more adventurous traveler.
Route 66 was also the title of a TV series playing from 1960 till 1964
Cyrus Stevens Avery from Tulsa Oklahoma can be called the father of Route 66
In 1985 Route 66 was officially decommissioned, but for daily use it was replaced far earlier by the Interstates.

There was a television show in the early 1960's called Route 66.

it starts somewhere around Chicago, Il and ends at the Santa Monica pier. it was made as a prelude to highways to take people west. vast parts of it blends in with regular roads and boulevards; people still travel this road/route mainly for nostalgia reasons; there are still some diners and things that are still operating along it; I live near Arcadia, CA, and route 66 goes right thru it pass Santa Anita Racetrack. one of the places i go to eat is Rods Diner, est 1950, and is an orign route 66 diner. For a future vacation, after I get a new car, I plan on driving halfway up it and take pictures for a website. Im a sucker for nostalgia.

You've got the wrong number. You're talking about Route 666 which no longer exists. It was the number on the road in "Natural Born Killers" and "Route 666". Both of them ran through Gallup, NM.

there are 66 books in the bible. The road is just a road. Just like the 10 freeway, the 5 freeway. It might have been somebody's favorite number
