Beginning Monday, Feb. 20, 2023, the Kansas Department of Transportation will conduct a field survey on two bridges on U.S. 75 in Osage County. The bridges go over state Highway 276 and the Marais Des Cygnes River, and are located approximately four and seven miles, respectively, north of the Coffey County line.

The survey is necessary to gather information for the detailed design of the proposed improvements, and is estimated to be completed by April 15. Roger Dill PS, of RIC, will be the survey project manager for KDOT.

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.
