(KNZA)--A Kansas Department of Transportation field survey will begin on Monday, April 28, on the K-20 bridge over Branch Independence Creek, located one mile south of Denton in Doniphan County.

KDOT says the survey is necessary to gather information for the detailed design of the proposed improvements and is estimated to be completed by May 16.

Craig Cheney, with McClure Engineering, will be in charge of the survey 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.
