Nighttime Work on the FE Everett Turnpike in Bedford

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces that new construction work on the FE Everett Turnpike will begin Sunday night, May 21, 2023 in the southbound lanes between the I-293 Interchange and the Bedford Tolls. This work is weather dependent and is expected to take four nights to complete. 

Construction crews will be installing storm drainage pipes between the hours of 7:00 pm and 6:00 am and will require the use of lane closures.  Message boards, uniformed officers, traffic control devices, and smart work zone devices will be used to direct the traveling public.  Motorists are encouraged to sign up for free, real-time traffic related messages (text or email) from https://newengland511.org/. 
 
This work will also require closing the NH Route 101 eastbound exit to the FE Everett Turnpike southbound, from 7 pm to 6 am on Sunday, May 21, 2023 and Monday, May 22, 2023. Motorists will utilize a detour to reach the FE Turnpike southbound. 

This work is part of the overall FE Everett Turnpike (FEET) 13761 Widening Project.  This 13761D project includes the 1.7-mile northern segment work in Bedford beginning north of Exit 13 and proceeding north, and through the I-293 interchange.  AJ Coleman & Son of Conway, NH is the general contractor for the $20.5 million project, which is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2024.
