Its "Route 66". Two sixes, not three.

U.S. Route 491 (US 491) is a north–south U.S. Highway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway) serving the Four Corners (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners_(United_States)) region of the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). One of the newest designations in the U.S. Highway system, it was created in 2003 as a renumbering of U.S. Route 666. With the 666 designation, this road was nicknamed "Devil's Highway" because of the common Christian belief that 666 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/666_(number)) is the Number of the Beast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_666#cite_note-beastofahighway-1) This satanic connotation, combined with a high fatality rate along the New Mexico portion, convinced some people the highway was cursed. The problem was compounded with chronic sign theft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_sign_theft). These factors led to two efforts to renumber the highway, first by officials in Arizona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona), later in New Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico). Since the renumbering, in conjunction with safety improvement projects, fatality rates have decreased.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_666#cite_note-nmdot2-2)
The highway runs through Colorado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado), New Mexico and Utah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah), as well as the tribal nations of the Navajo Nation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_Nation) and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_Mountain_Ute_Tribe). Features along the route include an extinct volcanic core named Shiprock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiprock), Mesa Verde National Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_Verde_National_Park), and the self-proclaimed "pinto bean capital of the world".
