U.S. 136 passes through the following states:

Nebraska

U.S. 136 closely parallels Nebraska's southern border from its western terminus near Edison to the Missouri River. It passes through Beatrice and exits the state at Brownville via the Brownville Bridge. It is designated the Heritage Highway throughout Nebraska.

Missouri

U.S. 136 enters Missouri on the west just east of Brownsville, Nebraska over the Missouri River. It leaves the state at Alexandria, Missouri on the east. During its journey it enters every county seat in the nine counties it traverses. The distance across Missouri is around 240 miles. U.S. 136 is two lanes for the full distance.

Iowa

U.S. 136 just grazes the southern tip of Iowa. It enters the state by a Des Moines River crossing, then intersects U.S. Route 61 before entering Keokuk and intersecting U.S. Route 218. It leaves the state by the Keokuk-Hamilton Bridge. Its total length in Iowa is less than four miles. [1]

In the state of Illinois, U.S. Route 136 crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois from Missouri just past Keokuk, Iowa. It passes through Macomb, Illinois, where Western Illinois University is located. It continues as an east-west route intersecting with I-155 and I-55 south of Bloomington-Normal and north of Lincoln in Central Illinois. It later intersects with I-74, and then I-57 just outside Rantoul about 15 miles north of Champaign-Urbana. U.S. Route 136 then runs concurrent with Illinois Route 1 in far east central Illinois before entering Danville, Illinois. At Danville, it turns east to go into Indiana.

Indiana

Through most of its duration in Indiana, 136 parallels Interstate 74. Within Indianapolis, the route is also called Crawfordsville Road, and US 136 ends at I-465/I-74 where Crawfordsville Road continues without numbered designation.
