Route 66 Designated as National Historic Trail

This new law officially designates the iconic Route 66 as a National Historic Trail. This recognition aims to preserve its cultural heritage and may boost tourism, benefiting local communities along the route. Importantly, the law protects private property rights and prohibits forced land acquisition.
Key points
Route 66, spanning approximately 2,400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, is officially designated as a National Historic Trail.
The trail's administration will respect its unique character, but no buffer zones will be created, meaning adjacent land activities remain unrestricted.
The government cannot acquire private land through eminent domain for the trail, nor will it hinder energy development.
This designation does not alter existing permit requirements or rights-of-way for infrastructure along the route.
