Route 66 fades as I-44 takes over Missouri highway
Missouri engineer Robert N. Hunter explains that U.S. 66 is largely replaced by Interstate 44 and will disappear in parts once Kansas and Oklahoma remove their designation. He notes route markings evolved from tree dots to numbered systems and that federal designations require multi state continuity. Some 66 signs may remain along I-44 in the Joplin area while Kansas and Oklahoma hold portions alive.
