Sumner Newscow report — A field survey for a proposed bridge replacement on U.S. 81 in Sumner County is expected to start around Feb. 8.
The project location is south of Caldwell over Bluff Creek and almost a mile north of the Oklahoma state line.
The length of the survey is 2,000 feet, and the survey will be based on the existing alignment.
This field survey is necessary for the detailed design of the proposed improvement. The survey is estimated to be completed by April 15.
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.
John Lilak, P.S., Survey Project Manager, Bartlett West, will be in charge of this survey for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
