2026: Route 66 Centennial Year


Did you know that 2026 is the centennial year for the "Mother Road", Route 66?

Celebrations are going to take place along the historic route. It was established on November 11, 1926 and decommissioned on June 26, 1985. 

Route 66 is about two miles away from home to the west. One can drive it from Iyanbito to Gallup. It is now just a frontage road running parallel to Interstate 40.

I drive it on occasion whenever there are traffie tie-ups on Interstate 40. Resurfacing and widening is taking place near Fire Rock Navajo Casino in Gallup.
