A 1926-37 alignment of Route 66 between Bernalillo and Algodones, N.M., has been added to the state’s Register of Cultural Properties, reported the Associated Press.
It’s a five-mile stretch of original road that was supplanted by a new alignment of Route 66 that went from Santa Rosa to Albuquerque.
Also, the Flynt Building at 720 Manvel Ave. in Chandler, Okla., was named June 5 to the National Register of Historic Places. Manvel Avenue is right on Route 66.
