SCRIBNER, Neb. (AP) - A stretch of rural highway in eastern Nebraska that was closed by flooding has reopened.

A 9-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 275 between Scribner and West Point had been closed Friday because ice jams had backed up the nearby Elkhorn River, causing the flooding.

The Nebraska Transportation Department reopened the highway on Saturday.
