(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a culvert replacement survey on K-246 in Brown County on Wednesday, July 12. The Terrapin Creek culvert is about 4 miles east of the U.S. 75 junction near Morrill.

KDOT says the survey is necessary to gather information for the detailed design of the proposed improvements and is expected to be complete by July 28.

Joe Bowen, P.S., Survey Project Manager, KDOT, will be in charge of the survey.

KDOT says 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.
