Two Oklahoma senators announced Tuesday that they have filed a bill to create the President Donald J. Trump Highway on the world-famous Route 66.

According to Senate Bill 1089, the renamed section of Route 66 will begin at the intersection of Highland Avenue near Miami and extend north and east through Commerce to the intersection of Industrial Parkway in Ottawa County.

“President Trump has done an outstanding job on behalf of our nation and Oklahoma,” said state Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow. “We feel like this is a perfect opportunity to commemorate the great impact his leadership has had on improving the economy and bringing jobs and commerce back to our great state.”

According to a news release, Senate Bill 1089 will require that the necessary funds needed for the cost of the signs be covered by the Senate and House authors and co-authors, meaning there will be no cost to the taxpayers for the signs.

“Oklahoma is in the heart of America,” said state Sen. Marty Quinn, R-Claremore. “Its conservative values of freedom, liberty and limited government are what our country was built on and has made America a strong nation and President Trump continues to fight for these values.”

State Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, will serve as the primary House author of Senate Bill 1089. The bill will be available to be heard during the next legislative session, which begins in February.
