Just how much of Route 66 is still drivable? Just how close can you get to the original road? These are common questions when people are considering their road trip, and while it's certainly true that you can no longer drive Route 66 from end to end uninterrupted, a significantly large portion (approximately 85%) remains paved and drivable. This figure of 85% is an approximation for a standard saloon car, so with an off-road vehicle you could certainly push this higher. Route 66 is 2448 miles long and in it's most commonly used alignment can be broken down into the following sections: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California. Within each state there are alternative alignments that can be followed.
