Survey to begin Monday for bridge project in Washington County

Beginning Monday, Oct. 16, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans to begin a field survey to gather information necessary for two proposed bridge replacements in Washington County.

The bridges are located on K-22 over Mulberry Creek, located about 1.6 miles north of U.S. 36 and on K-22 over Mill Creek, about 2.8 miles north of U.S. 36.

The survey will take place on the existing highway alignment.

KDOT estimates the survey to be completed by Nov. 24. Survey activities will include the use of survey instruments on the ground to determine locations of existing features within the corridor.

A member of the survey crew will contact property owners or tenants for permission to enter private property.

Joe Bowen, P.S., Survey Project Manager, KDOT, Bureau of Right of Way, will be in charge of this survey for KDOT. Persons with questions may contact KDOT Public Affairs Manager, Ashley Perez at (785)826-6799.
