Several roads and highways across the United States have already been named after Donald Trump, and more lawmakers are pushing to rename additional roadways in his honor. Following his recent inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, efforts in multiple states are underway to dedicate roads to him.
Existing Roads Named After Trump
As of now, at least three states have already named streets or highways after Trump:
- Trump Drive – Located in Kalispell, Montana.
- Donald J. Trump Highway – A 24-mile stretch of U.S. Route 287 in Oklahoma, renamed in 2021.
- President Donald J. Trump Avenue – Formerly Palm Avenue, renamed in Hialeah, Florida, in 2023.
New Proposals for Trump-Named Highways
Arizona: Donald J. Trump Highway
In Arizona, lawmakers are considering renaming State Route 260 as “Donald J. Trump Highway.” This proposal was introduced by State Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican from Flagstaff. She cited Trump’s 2024 presidential victory and the fact that he was the first Republican nominee in 20 years to win the popular vote.
Kentucky: Donald J. Trump Highway
A proposal in Kentucky aims to rename part of Kentucky Route 18 in Boone County. This effort is led by State Rep. T.J. Roberts, who represents Kentucky’s 66th District. If approved, approximately 12 miles of Route 18 from Florence to Rabbit Hash would bear Trump’s name.
The resolution would allow Trump to share naming rights with Floyd Poore, a former Kentucky Transportation Cabinet secretary.
Missouri: Donald J. Trump Highway (Proposed in 2021)
In 2021, Missouri Senator Mary Coleman introduced a bill to rename a portion of Interstate 55 from State Highway 141 to Richardson Road in Jefferson County as “Donald J. Trump Highway.” The bill stated that private donations would cover the cost of new signage. However, the proposal was sent to the transportation committee and has yet to be approved.
Growing Trend of Naming Roads After Trump
The trend of naming highways and streets after Donald Trump reflects his strong influence among his supporters. With his recent return to the White House as the 47th President, these proposals may gain momentum in more states. Whether they all pass remains to be seen, but the movement to honor Trump with roadways continues to grow.
