Pipe Replacement Project to Begin in Manchester-by-the-Sea 

MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA — Department of Public Works Director Charles Dam would like to notify the community that construction for a pipe replacement project will begin later this month.

On Oct. 10, crews will be on School Street to conduct exploratory test pits, which are used to verify clearance and depth of exiting utilities. Beginning Oct. 22, construction crews will be on Burnham Lane, Friend Street and School Street, from Sacred Heart and St. John the Baptist church to Sawmill Brook, replacing an undersized drainage pipe with a larger pipe that will be better equipped to handle the town’s runoff.

Work will occur Monday through Friday, from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. During this time, alternating lanes of traffic will be in place around the work zone. Police details will be in place to assist with traffic flow.

Drivers are encourage to use alternate routes during construction.

Bedford Police Notify Residents of Road Closure 

Back River Road to be Closed Weekdays from Aug. 7 to Sept. 7

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski would like to notify Bedford residents and commuters that Back River Road will be closed to through traffic beginning today and continuing each weekday for about a month.

Back River Road will be closed from County Road to Smith Road while a water main construction project is ongoing. The road will only be accessible to emergency vehicles and school buses between 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday during the construction period.

Vehicles will be detoured onto County Road, Liberty Hill Road and Smith Road during the hours that the road closure is active. To review a map of the detours click here.

Local traffic will be redirected to avoid the construction zones and drivers are asked to  seek alternate routes, if possible.

“We want to thank everyone for their patience while this project is completed,” Chief Bryfonski said. “More than 7,000 vehicles drive on this road each day. So, we want everyone to be aware of the project and the detour routes to help make things as easy as possible.”

In Bedford, drivers heading south on Back River Road will be directed to turn right on County Road, then left on Liberty Hill Road, left on Smith Road and then left to continue onto Back River Road.

From Merrimack heading north, traffic on Back River Road will be diverted left onto Smith Road, then right onto Liberty Hill Road, right onto County Road and then left back onto Back River Road.

Motorists should drive slow and use caution when traveling through the detour areas and the construction site.

There will be people directing traffic with flags on Back River Road to assist any residents that live on the road and those accessing the day camps on nearby Camp Road.

Back River Road will be open to normal traffic when construction is not ongoing.

Bedford Police Provide Route 101 Construction Project Update

BEDFORD, N.H. — As the Route 101 construction project continues, Chief John J. Bryfonski and the Bedford Police Department would like to provide community members with several important updates regarding paving and road closures.

From Wednesday, July 11 to Friday, July 13, Continental Paving is scheduled to pave the area of Route 101 between Liberty Hill Road and Wallace Road. Paving will take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and drivers should expect delays. Two-way traffic will be open during paving, however, the road will be narrow in certain areas and motorists are asked to travel slowly.

Additionally, on Wednesday, July 11 and Thursday, July 12, Meetinghouse Road, from the Town Library to Route 101, will be closed to through traffic. Detours will be in place to allow traffic to proceed down Bedford Center Road and officers will be at the intersection of Route 101 and Bedford Center Road to assist with left hand turns. There will be delays, so drivers should allow for plenty of time to reach their destinations.

On Thursday, July 12, the left hand turn lane on Route 101 onto Nashua Road will be closed. Officers will be at the intersection to assist motorists who need to turn onto Nashua Road.

“We appreciate residents’ patience during this phase of construction,” Chief Bryfonski said. “Please allow yourself ample time to get to wherever you need to go if you will be traveling these roads next week.”

New Traffic Pattern to Go Into Effect on Route 101 in Bedford on Monday

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski and the Bedford Police Department would like to alert motorists that a new traffic pattern will be in place on Route 101 beginning Monday, Oct. 23.

The change will affect Route 101 between Meetinghouse Road and Liberty Hill Road. It will include a lane shift, striping and construction that will take place until spring of 2018.

“We want to thank drivers and residents in advance for their patience during this phase of construction on Route 101,” Chief Bryfonski said. “Once the project is completed, this busy roadway will be safer to travel on for all. In the interim, we ask that everyone exercise additional caution in this area.”

The Bedford Police Department would also like to remind motorists to slow down in the construction area of Route 101, especially those who choose to detour onto side roads off Route 101. Bedford Police Officers will be conducting traffic patrols in the area to deter speeding vehicles. Speed limits will be strictly enforced.

A breakdown of work is as follows:

Lane shift:  East and westbound traffic on Route 101, between Liberty Hill Road and Meetinghouse Road, will be shifted onto two lanes on what is currently the eastbound side of Route 101.

In preparation for the lane shift, guardrails will be installed on the eastbound side. Concrete barriers will also be installed to separate east and westbound traffic from construction that will commence on the current westbound lane.

Line striping: Expect longer than normal delays during line re-striping on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

Concrete barriers: Barriers will be deployed on Oct. 24 and 25. Once the barrier installation is complete, roadway reconstruction will take place behind the barriers.

No left turns: Left turns from Liberty Hill Road onto Route 101 west will be prohibited. Left turns from Route 101 west onto Liberty Hill Road will also be prohibited.

Alternate routes: Motorists who would normally travel Liberty Hill Road to turn left and travel west on Route 101 should use the Route 101 / Nashua Road intersection.

Additional work: Work on utility relocations will continue along Route 101, between Wallace and Bell Hill roads.
