HANNIBAL – U.S. Route 136 closed in early August for a bridge replacement project located over North Fork Middle Fabius River, 1.1 miles east of Route C near Lancaster, in Schuyler County. Weather permitting, the new bridge is scheduled to open in mid-December. A one month delay in completion was caused by unforeseen soil conditions, requiring additional structural support, along with delays in material availability. Schedules are weather dependent and subject to change.
