Do not fill this in! ===Major highways=== Amarillo is served by two interstate highways: [[Interstate 27]] and [[Interstate 40 in Texas|Interstate 40]]. Amarillo is also the northern terminus for I-27, of which less than one mile (~1.6 km) is located in Potter County. The highway terminates at the city's main west–east highway, Interstate 40, just north of the Potter–Randall county line. The roadway continues northward into downtown Amarillo via U.S. [[U.S. Highway 60 (Texas)|60]], [[U.S. Route 87 in Texas|87]], and [[U.S. Route 287 in Texas|287]], via a series of four one-way streets including Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore and Taylor. North of downtown the highway becomes US 87 & 287 and continues northward to [[Dumas, Texas]].<ref name="i27"/> Interstate 40, the city's major east–west thoroughfare was completed entirely through Amarillo in November 1968 across the center of the city. Previously, [[U.S. Route 66 in Texas|U.S. Highway 66]] was the major east–west highway through the city, generally following Amarillo Boulevard to the north of the downtown area and then curving southwest to leave the city near the Veterans Hospital. A city route (which was an original alignment of US 66 through central and west Amarillo) followed Fillmore south into the downtown area and turned on West 6th through the San Jacinto Heights district which is now home to many antique shops, restaurants and other businesses, passing the Amarillo Country Club and veering onto West 9th Street and Bushland Boulevard before tying into the through route at a traffic circle near the Veterans Hospital. [[Texas State Highway Loop 335|Loop 335]] circles around Amarillo in all four directions and consists of four-lane roadway on its northeast and southwest quadrants and two-lane paving to the southeast and northwest. Amarillo is also mentioned in the song "[[(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66|Route 66]]".
