Seabrook-Hampton Combined Public Officials/Public Informational Meeting

Arrangements have been made by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to hold a Combined Public Officials/Public Informational Meeting for this project that has investigated the rehabilitation or replacement of the Neil R. Underwood Bridge (NHDOT Bridge No. 235/025) which carries NH 1A over the Hampton River at the inlet to Hampton Harbor. Built in 1949, this bascule bridge is a vital transportation link between Hampton Beach and Seabrook. The Department is proposing a fixed bridge alternative that will result in the removal of this bridge from the Department's Red List, improve pedestrian and cyclist mobility at the crossing, and accommodate the existing marine users. The proposed preferred alternative will adversely affect the National Historic Register eligible bridge.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 6:00pm. Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, the NHDOT will conduct the meeting virtually via Zoom. Presentation materials and the meeting link will be located on the NHDOT website.
