Although Route 66 passed near there, I don't think that frontage road is actually part of the old route, but such things are not my forte.

And even if it did, then I think old_ref=US 66 is the correct tag for
that situation anyway.  Arguably old_ref=US 66 and noname=yes if it's
not known by anything else...
