The Kansas Department of Transportation is scheduled to begin a field survey along U.S. 77 in Cowley County next week.
The survey will cover approximately 500 feet of the highway about 1,000 feet north of 306th Road. This data collection, which is set to begin on or about June 4, is essential for the detailed design of the proposed guardrail improvements in the area, officials said. KDOT anticipates completing the survey by late June.
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.
Travis Biddinger, P. S, Survey Project Manager for Trekk, will oversee this survey for KDOT.
