A bridge replacement survey is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 17, on I-635 over Metropolitan Avenue.

The Kansas Department of Transportation stated that the field survey for the proposed bridge replacement will gather information necessary for the detailed design of the proposed bridge. The survey should be completed by July 1, 2021, according to KDOT.

A map showed the location is I-635 over Metropolitan Avenue. It is near South 42nd Street in the Turner area.

John Sommers, survey project manager, will be in charge of this survey for KDOT.

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.
