The Kansas Department of Transportation is starting a field survey for bridge improvements on U.S. 166 in Labette and Cherokee counties.

The Labette County survey area includes four locations from the Montgomery/Labette county line east to Ness Road. The Cherokee County survey area includes three locations from SW 107th Terrace east to SW 10th Street. Surveyors will gather information necessary for detailed designs of proposed bridge improvements. The survey is based on the existing highway alignment and is expected to be finished by June 1st. 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.
