Route 66 is no longer an official highway, having been formally decommissioned on June 27, 1985, after being replaced by the Interstate Highway System. However, many portions of the original roadway still exist and have been preserved. These surviving segments, along with museums and restored businesses, reflect the route’s historical importance.
