The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a survey for improvements on U.S. 160 starting next week.

The survey will begin at the U.S. 160/U.S. 169 junction and continue east to the intersection with Montgomery County Road 5500. The approximate length of the survey area is 2.7 miles. The survey is based on the existing highway alignment and is expected to be finished by July. Activities 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.
