Weight Restrictions Placed on Route 175 Bridge in Woodstock
Travel will be limited to passenger vehicles for the next 2-3 years.
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation will be restricting the bridge on NH Route 175 over the Pemigewasset River in Woodstock beginning Tuesday, July 5, 2022 to passenger vehicles under three tons. In addition, the bridge will be restricted to one lane and alternating traffic will be controlled by a stop/yield condition.
The NHDOT is restricting traffic in order to prolong the service life of the deck as the Department evaluates the engineering options for rehabilitation. Construction work is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2025.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time to travel over the bridge.
