Before it was designated as part of Route 66, it was known as the Old Trails Highway. 
"The volatile nature of the watercourse was illustrated by the concrete parapet walls; the downstream wall was pierced with slots, while the upstream wall was solid, to protect the roadway from floodwaters."

Several photos on Google Maps are of ruins.
