"WASHINGTON -- Congress is celebrating the centennial of historic Route 66. But that’s about all Washington is doing immediately for the California’s repair-starved sections of the road.

Parts of the legendary Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway need fixing, notably in California, where officials say some bridges on the historic highway are in “critical” need of improvements.

San Bernardino County’s section of the highway has 126 timber bridges that were originally built between 1929 and 1931 and require replacement."
