It might just be one lane, but U.S. Highway 59 in southern Buchanan County has re-opened.

Highway 59 to the Amelia Earhart Bridge into Atchison, Kansas had been closed to traffic since floodwaters from the Missouri River overtopped a levee and swamped the highway March 21^st.

The Missouri Department of Transportation says floodwaters still cover one lane, so temporary traffic signals have been set up to allow one lane to be open for traffic.
