A piece of farm machinery disrupted traffic in Chillicothe Thursday for nearly two hours after being stuck under a bridge.

According to information from the Chillicothe Police their office was notified at 3:26 P.M. Thursday that a piece of farm machinery that was eastbound on U.S. 36 had become wedged under the railroad overpass at Mitchell Road.
