The Indiana Department
of Transportation (INDOT)
is planning to undertake a
pavement replacement
and hot-mix asphalt
(HMA) overlay project,
funded in part by the Fed-
eral Highway Administra-
tion (FHWA). The project
is located along SR 46
within the City of Colum-
bus, Columbus Township,
in Bartholomew County,
Indiana.
Under the preferred alter-
native, the proposed proj-
ect would involve portions
of the pavement on SR 46
being replaced. Addition-
ally, the project is antici-
pated to improve drainage
and ADA accessibility on
SR 46. Curb work, gutter
work, and curb ramp
bump-out work are also in-
cluded as part of the pro-
posed project on SR 46.
The project will require the
acquisition of 0.13 acre of
temporary right-of-way
(ROW) and 0.12 acre of
permanent ROW.
Properties listed in or eligi-
ble for the National Regis-
ter of Historic Places
(NRHP) located within the
Area of Potential Effects
(APE) include: 1) Colum-
bus Historic District
(NR-0373); 2) Bartholo-
mew County Courthouse
(NR-0131); 3)
McEwen-Samuels-Marr
House (NR-0135); 4) The
Republic (NR-2354); 5)
City Power House (IHSSI
Number [No.]
005-130-45059; notable);
6) Cummins Industrial His-
toric District (IHSSI No.
005-130-34[001-005]); and
7) INDOT 21 (31 North
Beatty Street). The pro-
posed action impacts
properties listed in or eligi-
ble for the NRHP. The In-
diana Department of
Transportation (INDOT),
on behalf of the FHWA,
has issued No Adverse
Effect finding for the proj-
ect because the project
will not diminish the integ-
rity of the characteristics
that qualify the historic
properties within the APE
for inclusion in the NRHP.

National Historic Preser-
vation Act, the views of
the public are being
sought regarding the ef-
fect of the proposed proj-
ect on the historic ele-
