Concord Officials to Discuss Exit 16 Roundabout Next Week

CONCORD, NH — The city of Concord is hosting a public hearing next week to discuss the construction of a roundabout just to the east of Exit 16 on I-93, at the intersection of East Side Drive, Mountain Road, and Shawmut Street. The city of Concord's Community Development Department and Engineering Services Division are hosting a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. on April 4, 2017, in the Broken Ground Elementary School cafeteria at 51 South Curtisville Road in Concord.

The intersection redesign is part of the Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation Improvement Program for the next 10 fiscal year. Traffic off the Interstate and onto three different residential areas of East Concord – during peak travel times – is noted to be “problematic,” according to the study.

Constructed is slated to begin later this spring. The city put a bid out for the project in October for around $1.3 million, according to press reports from last year.

Officials noted that all city of Concord public meetings are accessible for persons with disabilities. Any person who feels that he or she may be unable to participate in a City of Concord public meeting due to a disability should, to the extent possible, call 603-225-8570 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting so that a reasonable accommodation can be arranged.
