The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is scheduled to begin a field survey along U.S. 81 in the city of Wellington on or about Sept. 22.

The survey will cover approximately 1000 feet of the highway about a quarter mile north of East 21st Street. This data collection is essential for the detailed design of the proposed culvert improvements in the area.

KDOT anticipates completing the survey by the end of October.

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.

John Davies, P.S., Survey Project Manager, KDOT, will oversee this survey. For current road conditions, visit kandrive.gov or call 511. For updates on construction projects in South Central Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/projects/south-central-kansas-projects.
