Stratham Public Informational Meeting

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) will host a Public Officials/Public Informational Meeting to discuss the proposed replacement and substantially upsizing of two 18-inch diameter concrete culverts under Squamscott Road in Stratham, located approximately 1,400 feet east of Route 108.  The meeting will be held at the Stratham Town Meeting Room A, 10 Bunker Hill Avenue, Stratham, NH, on Thursday, October 13, 2022 at 6:00 pm.  The public is encouraged to attend and participate.

The purpose of this project is to improve the passageway for fish and other species.  We will present the effects of increasing the structure size has on tidal flow, storm flow, and species passage.  We will also outline our reasoning on how we arrived at our preferred size.  Traffic control options will also be presented.  Due to the narrow roadway at this location, ability to construct while keeping one lane of alternating traffic open is difficult.  Road closure option will be discussed.

Citizens and public officials will have an opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts regarding existing deficiencies to ensure that the project decisions meet public transportation needs and community goals, and to protect and enhance the environment.  Accordingly, NHDOT assures that this project will be administered according to the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all related statutes to ensure nondiscrimination.
