Bridge Rehabilitation Project Continues in Charlestown

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) will move into Phase 2 of the bridge rehabilitation project on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 on the Route 12 Bridge over the New England Central Railroad in Charlestown. 
  
Phase 2 and Phase 3 will require closing one lane of travel over the bridge for several months. Temporary traffic signals will be implemented to facilitate alternating traffic over the bridge and road users should expect a new traffic pattern on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.  A lane restriction of 15’-8” will be in place for Phase 2 and Phase 3.   
   
Access to South Main Street requires a detour using Paris Avenue onto East Street thru Charlestown primary school, please use caution.  Detour signing is in place to direct road users to South Main Street. 
 
Message boards will be used to notify the traveling public as the work progresses.  Road users should remain alert while traveling through the work zone and obey all posted signs. Road users are also encouraged to sign up for free, real-time construction and traffic related messages (text or email) from https://newengland511.org/.
