KDOT crews from
Columbus, Pittsburg and Chanute post the 20-foot-tall Route 66 sculpture at the K-66/U.S. 400 roundabout. |
The Route 66 shield
is a new landmark on the 13-mile section of the Kansas Mother Road. |
The Route 66
information kiosk, shown here at its dedication in 2014, is located west of the roundabout. |
The
FFA students at Riverton High School wanted to work on a project that would
help boost local economic development and tourism efforts. Chapter members
decided their project would be a metal sculpture that would stand on Historic
Route 66 in southeast Kansas.

This is a fantastic piece of artwork! Love that I get to drive by it every day on my way to work! It was very exciting watching them install this. Thank Riverton FFA and KDOT!!!
