“While Route 66 did not exist until 1926, in 1924, State Bond Issue 4 (SBI 4) was a route that was created from existing roads and paved to create an all-weather road that connected Chicago to St. Louis. The 1926 alignment of Route 66 follows SBI 4 and is the reason that Illinois was the first state to boast having Route 66 paved from end to end. Prohibition was in effect from 1920 until 1933, and an all-weather road made the transportation of illegal alcohol possible virtually all year long. Production stills located in central and southern Illinois could easily ship alcohol on Route 66 to speakeasies in Chicago and St. Louis. There is still pavement in use today that was laid between 1922 and 1924 (SBI 4, later Rte. 66) and is characterized by a road width of only 18'-20’. The average speed was 25 mph, cars share the road with horse and-drawn vehicles and tractors. Mechanical problems were frequent in the relatively new transportation technology, and it is for that reason that this alignment passes through so many small towns.”
