The Auburn Brick Road is a beautiful and unique stretch of Route 66.  It's a 1.3-mile section of restored, hand-laid brick.

This section of roadway was part of Route 66 until 1930, which the alignment was moved. It wasn't until 1931 until the bricks were placed over the concrete roadbed.

The Route 66 Association of Illinois completed additional restoration to the brick road in recent years.
