	Route 66 Recommissioning Initiative - The Plan
		As the Interstate Highway System was opened for traffic one relatively short section at a time, many of the states involved chose to re-locate the Route 66 U.S. Highway designation onto the Interstate to avoid the necessity of continuing to sign two essentially parallel routes.
		In order to achieve the kind of continuity normally associated with U.S. Routes, the new U.S. 66 will need to be co-designated and signed with the Interstate highways in some areas in order to bridge the gaps that will occur where an historic alignment is no longer available.
		First, it will pay national tribute to what is arguably the most famous highway in history by restoring U.S. Highway 66 to its prominent role in its traditional corridor as a living, functioning and relevant route.
