This is the second project to restore access on U.S.
Highway 136. It includes filling the last and largest of four gaps in the
pavement. The three other gaps were filled during a previous project. All four areas
will receive temporary pavement to make the surface drivable this winter. The
target completion for this project is Nov. 28, with permanent paving installed
next spring.

Filling the Beast
You
can now go behind the scenes via YouTube or an online streaming video feed and watch
as crews work to fill the “Beast,” a large scour hole on U.S. Highway 136 in
Atchison County. At 480 feet long and 65 feet deep, the Beast is longer than the Statue of
Liberty at 305 feet tall, longer than a football field at 360 feet, but not
quite as big as the St. Louis Arch which is 630 feet tall.
