[edit] Route Description

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