All of US 66 in Arizona is bypassed by I-40, but there are still large drivable segments of it. You can get off I-40 at Ash Fork, and not rejoin I-40 until you reach the Colorado River, with the exception of a couple of miles south of Kingman. From Seligman to Kingman, it's designated Historic AZ 66.
