Daytime work will temporarily close one lane on the bridge for three days, July 19-21, 2022.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation announces that an in-depth inspection will be performed on the bridge carrying NH Route 11 over the Connecticut River in Charlestown, NH beginning on Tuesday, July 19, 2022.

Weather permitting, the inspection is expected to take three days, Tuesday, July 19, 2022 through Thursday, July 21, 2022.

The bridge will be reduced to one lane of alternating two-way traffic as needed and as weather permits from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. Lane width on the bridge will be 10’-0” during the inspection. Flag persons, and warning signs will be used to notify motorists of the lane closure. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes if possible to avoid delays. In the event of adverse weather, the inspection work may be delayed until the next suitable workday.

It is really interesting to walk Main St and read the historic markers. Some of the markers are old enough to be historical in themselves, like this 118 year old marker.

On Tuesday, July 5th Governor Sununu announced the application process for the InvestNH Housing Fund will begin as early as next Monday, July 11^th. The $100 million dollar investment, as approved by the Executive Council, will offer funds to developers, both nonprofit and for profit, and small landlords who have projects that will increase affordable workforce housing in the state. The fund will also provide grants to communities to approve these projects, to update or review zoning, and to demolish dilapidated buildings.

I encourage the municipal leaders and housing developers in District 3 –  and throughout the State  – to learn more about the program and application process at www.Invest603.com. There will be an educational webinar hosted by the Department on July 7^th at 12 pm.
