The ruins of John Claar's “Hitchin Post” are located on the north frontage road west of EXIT 203. If you detour along the north frontage road from EXIT 203 to visit this haunting ruin of a classic tradingpost/snake farm, you either have to detour back to EXIT 203 to continue west to EXIT 197 (Moriarty), or go all the way west to Hwy 41 to rejoin 66 at the middle Moriarty exit. Respect the ruins, please!

As in the update for IL page-2, for clarity redraw the arrow for EXIT 268 to point to the immediate west side of Hwy 355 (not a lot of room in the map art there!). WB: Basically, as you approach and pass thru the interchange with Hwy 355,watch closely for EXIT 268 (Joiliet Rd).

Also, when I changed the exit numbers on the map to conform to new reality, I forgot to change the nuimber on the reference to Montana Charlie's Little America...that should be EXIT 268 also.

Thanks to John and Lenore Weiss foir these 3 Illinois updates!

For clarity, you should redraw the arrow for EXIT 268 so that it is on the WEST side of Hwy 355 (and east of Hwy 53)as the actual offramp is west of Hwy 355.

OK Hwy 66 is CLOSED for construction from Main street in SAPULPA west to the Hwy 117 Jct. Follow the detour signs, which will route you south from 66 to Hwy 117.

Going East on US 63 there is currently no NORTHWye sign to use as a cue for the turn! so watch for the righthand turn after the stoplight for the store entrance (if you start downhill, you're too far!

Its reported that a new overpass has been built to carry Elmont Rd/Hwy 185 over I-44, just west of EXIT 225 in SULLIVAN.

This lessens traffic at the exit, but adds confusion to Rte 66 travelers!
Here are tentative revised directions (may be re-revised later):

WB: Following Springfield Rd thru Sullivan, go past the turnoff for the EXIT 225 overpass. At Elmont Rd, turn RIGHT. Then, turn LEFT onto the South Outer Road (do not cross I-44). Continue west past the Hwy D Jct towards BOURBON

EB: Follow the South Outer Road towards SULLIVAN. Pass by the JCT with HWY D. At the JCT with Hwy 185/Elmont Rd, turn RIGHT. Then, turn LEFT on Springfield Road, and proceed thru SULLIVAN.

The tiny gas station across from the Dairy King in Commerce is called "Allen's Fillin' Station." It is crammed full of roadside artifacts and gifts, and the restored exterior really takes you back to the old days of buying gas on 66.

TYPO ALERT! In the EB directions, where it says "Take EXIT 254B"...this SHOULD be "245B"

My Bad.

At least the exit number in the WB directions and on the maps are correct> :-)

Ny spies (thanks Tom and family!)report that there is construction going on at the JCT of KS 66, US 400 and 69A and Beasley Rd between Riverton and the Marsh Rainbow Arch Bridge.

At the moment, Beasley Rd is blocked off west of the JCT, so you have to detour a bit to get from KS 66 to the bridge.

EB: proceed past the bridge on Beasley, then turn RIGHT (south) on 60th just before the "Road Closed" signs, then turn LEFT on US400/US69A. Join KS 66 on the way to Riverton.

WB: From Riverton via KS 66, DETOUR LEFT onto US400/US69A. Turn RIGHT on 60th, go north to Beasley, then turn LEFT (they have Route 66 Detour signs marking these turns).

NOTE: these detour directions may change as construction proceeds, so be prepared to chart your own course!
