Temporary Daytime Closure of Route 12A Bridge in Claremont

Road users will be detoured during the daytime for one day.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) is continuing the rehabilitation work on the NH Route 12A bridge over the Sugar River in Claremont, NH and will fully close the bridge during the daytime for one day.   
  
Weather permitting the bridge will be fully closed to road users on Monday, November 4, 2024, for final paving.   A detour will be in place for the daytime traffic closure. 
  
A detour will be utilized from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm to direct road users around the closure.   
  
Message boards will be used to notify road users as the work progresses and everyone should remain alert while traveling through the work zone and obey all posted signs. Travelers are also encouraged to sign up for free, real-time construction and traffic related messages (text or email) from https://newengland511.org/.    
  
This project will replace the superstructure (structural steel plate girders and bridge deck), road work before and after the bridge, substructure repairs, and the installation of scour countermeasures to protect piers and abutments.   
  
Evroks Corporation of Tilton, NH is the contractor for the $5.7 million dollar project anticipated to be completed by the end of September 2025.
