![]() Like all US Routes, 66 was designed to utilise as much existing road as possible, so Jackson was chosen for its ability to handle heavy automobile traffic as a wide road closed to commercial transport. Route 66 began in Chicago in 1926, at the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Avenue. Unlike the Interstate highways, which had exits numbered from west to east or south to north, US highways don't have labelled stops until they terminate. Despite its fame, few might reliably tell you the terminal points of the road. Route 66 is not the first, nor the longest historic interstate highway in America, yet it's easily the most famous due to its iconic small towns and gas stations, road trip views and landmarks such as the Grand Canyon.
