U.S. 61 currently runs from Wyoming, MN to New Orleans, LA; originally, the road extended to Duluth and Grand Portage, MN. That section is now MN 61. US 61 is known as the Blues Highway, as it runs through St. Louis and Memphis (both important blues meccas). Despite its nickname, US 61 never goes to Chicago, the reputed Blues Capital of the World. Bob Dylan incorporated the road's number into the title of his album, "Highway 61 Revisited." U.S. 62 goes from Niagara Falls, NY to El Paso, TX. U.S. 63 connects Benoit, WI to Ruston, LA. U.S. 64 runs from Nags Head, NC to Teec Nos Pos, NM. U.S. 65 links Albert Lea, MN to Clayton, LA. Until 1990, it also went into the Twin Cities. U.S. 66, which ran from Chicago to Los Angeles, is very easily the most famous highway ever built. Nat King Cole's song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" was the road's main claim to fame, and a TV show, also called "Route 66," was set on it. Even though US 66 was decommissioned in 1985, several well-maintained parts remain, including those in Arizona and Oklahoma. U.S. 67 goes from Sabula, IA to Presidio, TX. U.S. 68 runs from Findlay, OH to Reidland, KY. U.S. 69 connects Albert Lea, MN to Port Arthur, TX. At its southern terminus, US 69 is multiplexed with US 96 and US 287. U.S. 70 links Atlantic, NC to Globe, AZ; originally, it reached Los Angeles, CA, via multiplexes with US 60 and US 99. |
