I-40 Edit: Incorrect. Interstate 40 and Route 66 are two completely different highways. In any case, Route 66's name hasn't been changed as of now (2011), but it's been coliquially known as Will Roger's Highway or The Main Street of America for many years. Additional information: It all depends on what state you are in. For example, most of what remains of US 66 in Oklahoma is now signed as Oklahoma State Highway 66. Many states are now making an effort to re-sign what is left of the route, therefore in a lot of places you will see it referred to as "Old Route 66".
