Much of the road was cut through the Ozarks in the southern portion of the state. Like mining camps that sprang up during the discovery of gold and were later abandoned, Route 66 has left behind ghost towns and memories. Sections of the “Mother Road” have survived and, with it, accompanying scenes of life in an earlier time. The highway was decommissioned after it was replaced by interstate highways. It stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles through eight states, with over 300 miles of it crossing Missouri from St. Work began on it in 1926 and the final portion was paved in 1937.
Highway 66, was the first completely paved highway in the nation.
