Sumner Newscow report — A field survey for raising the height of the U.S. 166 bridge over the Kansas Turnpike in Sumner County is scheduled to begin around Tuesday, Sept. 14.
The field survey length is 3,000 feet, and it will be based on the existing alignment.
The survey – estimated to be completed by Oct. 1 — will gather information needed for the detailed design of the proposed improvement.
A member of the survey crew first will contact property owners and/or tenants for permission to enter private property. Survey activities will include the use of survey instruments on the ground to determine locations of existing features within the survey corridor.
Joe Bowen, P.S., Survey Project Manager, Kansas Department of Transportation, will be in charge of this survey for KDOT.
