(KAIR)--A Kansas Department of Transportation field survey is underway on K-116 in Atchison County, with a release from KDOT saying the survey area is south of Effingham and extends from Cheyenne Road to the U.S. 159 junction.

The survey, according to the release, is to gather information necessary for the detailed design of the proposed roadway improvements and is estimated to be complete by March 2025.

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.

Johnny Yackle, P.S., Survey Project Manager, HDR, will be in charge of the survey for KDOT.
