(KAIR)--A heavily traveled stretch of highway, closed since last month, has now reopened.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, U.S. Highway 59, in Buchanan County, Missouri, reopened Wednesday afternoon.
The stretch of highway, located east of Atchison, Kansas, was closed September 23 due to flooding.
A news release issued by MoDot says floodwater does remain over one lane of the highway, with traffic narrowed to one lane and directed by temporary traffic signals. Delays are likely.
The reopening follows MoDot crews Wednesday working to place a berm on the north side of the highway.
The roadway has closed and reopened several times during flooding this year.
