Cos'è la Route 66?

La Route 66, conosciuta anche come Main Street of America o Mother Road, è stata una delle autostrade originali del sistema stradale americano. In passato era la strada della speranza per molti che partivano da Chicago verso la costa del Pacifico alla ricerca di un futuro migliore.

Era il 1926 quando venne aperta questa strepitosa autostrada che aveva il compito di connettere Chicago ei flussi provenienti dalla costa est con la California.

Il declino ebbe inizio dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, quando il presidente Eisenhower decise di ristrutturare completamente il sistema delle Autostrade federali rendendole più grandi, veloci e sicure. Fu così che pian piano quasi tutti i tratti della Route 66 furono esclusi dalle nuove autostrade.

Ma nonostante ciò, la Route 66 rimane un'attrazione turistica popolare e famosa in tutto il mondo. Molte sezioni della strada originale sono ancora percorribili, consentendo ai visitatori di fare un viaggio nel tempo e scoprire la storia e il fascino della vecchia America.
