TULSA, (Okla.) — In further celebration and preparation for the Route 66 Centennial, the City of Tulsa has installed the first musical road in the state of Oklahoma on the Southwest Boulevard Bridge, which runs parallel to the Cyrus Avery Memorial Bridge, an important landmark in Tulsa’s history as the Capital of Route 66.

Now, when drivers head east toward Downtown at 35 miles per hour, the song “This Land is Your Land” by Oklahoma native Woodie Guthrie will play.

"Route 66 is an iconic piece of Tulsa’s identity and what sets our city apart is that we not only honor The Mother Road, but also continue to bring it to life," Mayor Nichols said. "As we approach the centennial, this new musical road reflects who we are as a city - a place where everyone belongs and where every voice helps shape our story. I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this vision a reality and for bringing a new attraction home to the capital of Route 66.”
