Engineers are surveying a 2,500-foot stretch of U.S. 54 in rural Bourbon County starting this week.
The Kansas Department of Transportation said in a press release the survey is necessary to plan for the eventual replacement of a bridge spanning Turkey Creek east of Uniontown.
The survey is based on the existing highway alignment, and is expected to be finished by Sept. 7.
The survey work is necessary to determine locations of existing features within the highway corridor.
Crew members will contact property owners or tenants for permission to enter private property.
