A field survey for proposed replacement of three K-4 bridges in Rice County is scheduled to begin around Feb. 23.

The survey would be for replacement of Calf Creek Bridge, 1.40 miles east of the Barton County line; Calf Creek Drainage Bridge; 1.88 miles east of the Barton County line; and Little Cow Creek Bridge, 13.35 miles east of the Barton County line.

The approximate length of the survey is 4,000 feet; the survey will be based on the existing alignment. This field survey is to gather information needed for detailed design of the proposed improvements and is estimated to be completed by April 23.

A member of the survey crew first will contact property owners and/or tenants for permission to enter private property if needed. Survey activities will include use of survey instruments on the ground to determine locations of existing features within the survey corridor.

Michael Selley, P.S., Survey Project Manager, Bureau of Right of Way, will be in charge of this survey for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
