2026 is the 100th year since the highway was first established. Route 66 was one of the nation's first highways, and was popularized for decades as a convenient way to travel from Chicago to the west coast.
Even as new highways were established, taking large portions of the traffic that once used Route 66, the road remained a popular tourist attraction for travelers.
