Celebrating the Mother Road: Route 66 Turns 100!

As Route 66 celebrates its centennial, we welcome Dan Lewis, Executive Director of the New Mexico Asphalt Pavement Association, and Mike Skinner, Executive Director of the Asphalt Pavement Alliance, to explore the road's remarkable staying power. Dan and Mike share how the roadway drove economic growth in local towns, how it survived decommissioning in 1985, and why perpetual pavement design has kept the road alive. It's a celebration of a road, and the pavement engineering behind it, that has become inseparable from the American story. This season is sponsored by FleetWatcher by AlignOps.
