Victor Airways on Approach Control Radar?

The other day I queried an approach controller to find out how well we
are doing tracking the airway centerline. He said his radar scope does
not show the airways. I was surprised by this. Is this normal? I know
that Center controllers have airways on their radar, but it appears
that Approach control does not have airways. Is this true?

Generally, airways are not depicted in their entirety. They are not shown
in the center portion of the display to reduce clutter, but it doesn't take
too much imagination to mentally connect the segments that are shown.
