Texas House of Representatives commemorates the centennial of Route 66, a historic highway.

The Texas House of Representatives commemorates the centennial of Route 66, a historic highway that spans 2,400 miles across two-thirds of the continent. Route 66, which passed through Texas for about 200 miles with its midpoint in Adrian, has been a catalyst for growth and economic development. Despite its decommissioning in 1985, efforts to preserve and celebrate the route continue, with over 150 miles of the original Texas route still drivable. The resolution expresses best wishes to those involved in preservation and celebrates Route 66's cultural and economic significance.
