Bridge Painting on I-93 in Concord

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) will begin maintenance work on the Exit 17 Hoit Road bridge spanning I-93 in Concord, NH on Monday, March 14, 2022.  During the first few weeks the contractor will be working during the day on Hoit Road to install jersey barrier, and on the fixed staging in the median area as well as the two abutment ends of bridge, and lane closures will be established for the project.

In early April, weather permitting, crews will begin repainting the bridge steel from 9 pm to 7 am and nighttime lane closures on I-93, northbound and southbound, will be required for 10 weeks.  Northbound and Southbound travel lanes will be open during the day.

In addition, the Exit 17 northbound off-ramp will be closed during the nighttime hours when crews are working on that side of the bridge. Motorists will be informed to detour to the I-93, Exit 18 to reverse directions to use Exit 17 Southbound off ramp. When crews are working on I-93 Southbound at Exit 17 the Westbound ramp will be closed but the Exit 17 Eastbound ramp will remain open. During work hours detour signs and message boards will be used to direct motorists.  

During the ten weeks of the project, the I-93 Southbound Exit 17 East off ramp / Hoit Road merge lane will be closed to all traffic. A temporary stop sign will be in effect at the Exit 17 Eastbound off ramp. The lane closure work zone will remain in effect during all hours of day and night.  

This work is part of the $1,668,765 Concord, Ashland, Campton 41706 project. Modern Protective Coatings of Hudson, NH is the prime contractor for the project, which is scheduled to be completed in early May.
