Beginning Monday, Oct. 31, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans to begin a field survey to gather information necessary for a proposed bridge replacement in Morris County.

The bridge is located on U.S. 56, over Big John Creek, about two miles east of the K-177/U.S. 56 junction.

The survey will take place on the existing highway alignment.

KDOT expects the survey to be completed by Dec. 16. Survey activities will include the use of survey instruments on the ground to determine locations of existing features within the corridor.

A member of the survey crew will contact property owners or tenants for permission to enter private property.

Craig Mattox, P.S., Survey Project Manager, KDOT will be in charge of this survey for KDOT. Persons with questions may contact KDOT Public Affairs Manager Ashley Perez at (785)826-6799.
