In Chicago, IL, Old US Route 66 once started from the shore of Lake Michigan. The original right of way is no longer visible because development laid down in decades since has buried nearly all of it; nevertheless, yet older infrastructure may still be seen ~ however fragmentary. Here are the remains of Lock Number #1 on the Illinois and Michigan Canal between Chicago and Peru, IL, at Lockport, IL.
