Beginning April 26, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a field survey at and around the bridge over the Kansas River-BNSF Railroad on U.S. 69 (18th Street Expressway) located 2 miles north of the U.S. 69 and I-35 junction.
This field survey effort is to gather information necessary for the detailed design of the proposed improvement and is estimated to be completed by July 1, a KDOT spokesman stated.
A member of the survey crew first will contact property owners or tenants for permission to enter private property, the spokesman stated. Survey activities will include the use of survey instruments on the ground to determine locations of existing features within the survey corridor.
Travis Biddinger, survey project manager, Trekk, will be in charge of this survey for KDOT.
KDOT urged all motorists to be alert and obey the warning signs when approaching and driving through a highway work zone. To stay aware of all road construction projects across Kansas, go to www.kandrive.org or call 5-1-1.
