The Route
The Cruise route will encompass 5.5 miles of Route 66 within Tulsa’s city limits. After staging at Tulsa’s Expo Square, cars will travel to the official start of the spectator route at 11th and Yale. The route will then follow 11th Street (Historic Route 66) just south of the University of Tulsa and through key intersections including South Harvard, South Lewis and South Peoria, offering sixteen high-visibility zones for spectators.
The route was determined through meetings and collaboration with city officials, Tulsa police, road closure personnel and Route 66 Commission members. Research into infrastructure, public safety and operational considerations led to the final decision.
