About the Project

New Albany City Council approved critical funding on April 15, 2025, for utility improvements to support two highly anticipated community projects: the Bevelhymer Road and Walnut Street Roundabout Improvement Project and the new fieldhouse at Bevelhymer Park.

This roundabout project is a key investment in the New Albany’s future, aimed at accommodating long-term growth and development. The intersection is a critical connection point for increasing traffic, especially with the upcoming Community Fieldhouse and the ongoing expansion of the New Albany International Business Park.

The Bevelhymer Road and Walnut Street roundabout project is entering its final phase of construction. 

Starting on or around July 10, Bevelhymer Road will be widened between Millbrook Farm and Walnut Street. During construction, Bevelhymer Road will be restricted to northbound traffic only between Millbrook Farm and Walnut Street. Southbound traffic will be detoured via Walnut Street, SR-605, and Central College Road. 

Millbrook Farm residents will continue to have two-way access to and from the subdivision. 

Once the roadway widening is complete, crews will construct the adjoining leisure trails. Motorists should expect some traffic impacts throughout construction, with major construction expected to be completed by mid-August, restoring the roadway to two-way traffic. 

Thank you for your patience as we continue investing in infrastructure to support our growing community!

  • Elimination of dead ends on existing waterlines to improve water quality and flow.

  • Widening of Bevelhymer Road from the Public Service Complex to Millbrook Farm Drive to better accommodate traffic.

  • Enhanced landscaping and streetscape to beautify the area.

  • New leisure trail connections along Bevelhymer Road and Walnut Street to expand the city’s trail network for cyclists and pedestrians.

Investment

Funded through the City's 2025 Capital Improvement Budget

These utility enhancements will pave the way for improved community access and functionality. The new roundabout is designed to ease congestion and increase safety at a high-traffic intersection that serves Bevelhymer Park and nearby residential neighborhoods.

The roundabout project reached substantial completion in December 2025.

The Bevelhymer/Walnut Roundabout and Fieldhouse Project represents a strategic investment in New Albany’s infrastructure, safety, and recreation amenities.
