(KAIR)--Initial steps pertaining to a proposed Doniphan County bridge replacement are beginning.

According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, HDR Engineering, of Kansas City, Missouri, will begin a field survey Tuesday.

The proposed bridge replacement is located just south of White Cloud, on K-7, over Mill Creek, 12.45 miles northwest of the U.S. 36/K-7 junction.

According to the release, the survey is being done “to gather information that is necessary for the detailed design of the proposed improvement.”
The survey is expected to be completed by January 29.

HDR personnel will be on site weekdays and will be on and off the roadway.
Survey vehicles, equipped with flashing lights during times they are at work in the right of way, will utilize proper traffic control.

The KDOT release states 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.
