Route description

West along Nebraska Highway 8, February 2014

N-8 begins at N-14 in Superior and goes east through farmland until it meets US 81 in Chester. When the highway reaches Hubbell, it begins a segment where it goes northeasterly towards Fairbury until it meets N-15. It goes north with N-15 into Fairbury, crosses the Little Blue River, then turns southeast towards Steele City. It goes straight east through Odell and Barneston, passing US 77 between those two villages. At N-99, the highway turns north, overlapping N-99 for 5 miles (8.0 km). It then turns east towards Pawnee City. At Pawnee City, it meets N-50 and goes east and then south with it, separating just before Du Bois. It turns east, meets US 75 south of Dawson and ends in downtown Falls City at an intersection with US 73.[1][2]

History

N-8 was previously Route 3S. N-8 was created in about 1960.
