Route 66 doesn't have one set nickname. It has many. Some, to name a few, are the Road of Flight (for the Okies traveling West during the Depression), The Mother Road, and Will Rogers Highway.

What is or was Route 66?

Route 66 (the 'Mother Road') was one of the original numbered highways in the United States. It was established on November 11th 1926 and originally ran through several states (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California). It started at Chicago, Illinois and ran for approximately 2,448 miles (3,940km) until it reached Los Angeles, California. A major realignment resulted in the west terminus of the route be moved west of LA, ending at Santa Monica instead. The Route 66 designation was removed from the list of highways in the United States as 'it was no longer relevant', while the Interstate Highway System was being introduced. It has been largely replaced by various Interstate highways including I-55 (Chicago to St. Louis), I-44 (St. Louis to Oklahoma City) and, the longest segment, I-40 (Oklahoma City to Barstown, California). In most cities along the route and in some rural areas, the new Interstate highways generally follow Route 66 but the old highway still exists as a local road, sometimes with designations such as "Business 66".

What is route 66 called now?

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".
