About the Project

At its April 15 meeting, New Albany City Council approved critical funding 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.

Phase 3 construction will begin the week of March 16 and includes widening the north and south sections of Bevelhymer, removing the temporary roadway, and completing work on the detention basin. Bevelhymer will remain open with traffic maintained by flagging operations.

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.
