Public Notice
Des. No. 1800294

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is planning to undertake a Superstructure Replacement Project, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration. The project is located on SR 135 approximately 5.0 miles south of SR 46 in Brown County, Indiana.

Under the preferred alternative, the proposed project would involve replacing the existing reinforced continuous concrete slab superstructure with a new continuous reinforced concrete slab. The new bridge deck is anticipated to maintain the existing clear roadway width and have a new railing. Additional work is anticipated to include: patching on pier 2; replacing the approach slabs; resurfacing within the existing pavement footprint; new approach guardrail and bridge railing transitions; ditch realigning/regrading/vegetation removal; and removal of asphalt pavement. No permanent or temporary right-of-way is anticipated.

Properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) located within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) include the Thomas A. Hendrick’s House and Stone Head Road Marker (NR-0748). The proposed action impacts properties listed in or eligible for the NRHP. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), on behalf of the FHWA, has issued a “No Adverse Effect” finding for the project because the project will not diminish the integrity of the characteristics that qualify the historic properties within the APE for inclusion in the NRHP. In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act, the views of the public are being sought regarding the effect of the proposed project on the historic elements as per 36 CFR 800.2(d), 800.3(e), and 800.6(a)(4). Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(2), the documentation specified in 36 CFR 800.11(e) can be viewed electronically by accessing INDOT’s Section 106 document posting website IN SCOPE at http://erms.indot.in.gov/Section106Documents. Persons with limited internet access may request project information be mailed by contacting Haylee Moscato at 317-588-1766 or at [email protected]. This documentation serves as the basis for the “No Adverse Effect” finding. The views of the public on this effect finding are being sought. Please reply with any comments to Haylee Moscato of RQAW, 8770 North St., Ste. 110, Fishers, IN 46038, 317-588-1766 or [email protected] no later than March 05, 2021.
