Allen County to study limits of historic Nine Mile Church and Albright cemeteries before roundabout construction
Summary
Allen County Highway Director Bill Hartman presented a phase of environmental work for the Indianapolis–Winters Road roundabout that will study construction limits near the active Nine Mile Church Cemetery and the Albright Cemetery (operational 1855–1948). The board approved the plan, and Hartman said the project is expected to be bid in July 2027.
Allen County Highway Department Director Bill Hartman presented a phase of the environmental document for the Indianapolis–Winters Road roundabout that will study construction limits around the active Nine Mile Church Cemetery and the historic Albright Cemetery. Hartman said the Albright Cemetery was operational from 1855 to 1948 and noted that "the likelihood of encountering an unmarked grave is very low." The board approved the cemetery development plan 3-0.
Hartman told commissioners the entire roundabout project is expected to be bid in July 2027. The environmental study phase will identify construction limits that avoid disturbance to marked graves and assess any need for further cultural-resource work. The minutes record the approval but do not include detailed mitigation measures or timelines beyond the projected bid date.
