Route 66 repaving accelerated for centennial

Worked with State Senator Jack Stewart to accelerate ODOT's repaving of State Highway 66 from 6th Street to Cornwell — moving the project up from ODOT's 2027 schedule to spring 2026 to coincide with the Route 66 Centennial on November 11, 2026. The project involves grinding the existing pavement and overlaying with a two-inch asphalt cap over 0.6 miles, improving safety with a new driving surface and highly visible striping.

What it means: Route 66 repaving accelerated one full year — ready for the 2026 centennial celebration
