The Kansas Department of Transportation announced today that a field survey has started at the U Street Bridge over U.S. 73 in Atchison.

The work is expected to last around four weeks, weather permitting.

The survey is taking place to gather information necessary for a detailed design of the proposed improvement. The survey length is ½ mile over the bridge and on U.S. 73.

KDOT said 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 and/or tenants for permission to enter private property. Rob Selley, P.S., Survey Project Manager, will be in charge of this survey for KDOT.
