CONCORD, NH — Drivers should expect overnight lane closures on Interstate 393 for about four nights as the New Hampshire Department of Transportation schedules bridge work at East Side Drive.
The work will run from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15 through Thursday, Nov. 19. The nighttime project involves the bridge that carries East Side Drive over Interstate 393, near Exit 2 in Concord. NH DOT reported that, weather permitting, lane closures will be used on Interstate 393 to complete the work.
The department said the work is not expected to affect traffic traveling on East Side Drive. Traffic impacts are expected on I-393, where crews will be working overnight near the exit. Message boards, uniformed officers, and traffic control devices will be in place to notify drivers approaching the work zone, according to the department.
NH DOT also reminded drivers to follow the state's Move Over Law, also called Sherrill's Law, when approaching the work area. The department urged road users to remain alert and obey all message boards and posted signs while traveling through the area during the project.
Drivers can also sign up for free, real-time construction and traffic messages by text or email through NewEngland511.org, according to the notice.
The bridge work is part of a $3 million Bridge Preservation Project identified as Concord 44556. According to NHDOT, New England Infrastructure of Hudson, Massachusetts, is the general contractor for the project.
