Oklahoma Route 66 There is a section of road from Route 66 in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. The section is from Route 66 as it passes Bridgeport, Oklahoma. This is the location of the Route 66 section in the Smithsonian museum. Notice the road has a curb. I remember driving on Route 66 when the surface was wet. Sometimes if the tires touched the curb, it would make your car veer off toward the oncoming traffic. Not a pleasant experience!!
