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.

Bedford Police Arrest Driver For Reckless Operation

NOAH HODGES, AGE 18, of MONT VERNON

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department arrested a man Sunday morning on a charge of reckless operation.

NOAH HODGES, AGE 18, of MONT VERNON was arrested and charged with:

  • Reckless Operation

At approximately 8:20 a.m., Sunday, an officer was conducting traffic enforcement at the intersection of Route 101 and Constitution Drive when he observed a Subaru hatchback driven by HODGES allegedly run a red light on Route 101 while driving more than 50 m.p.h in a 35 m.p.h zone.

The officer began following the vehicle as it traveled onto the Route 101 split and continued to increase in speed as it approached the Plummer Road overpass. The officer then measured the Subaru’s speed at over 90 m.p.h on the highway’s straightaway.

As he continued to follow the vehicle for a short distance, the officer leveled off his speed at 103 m.p.h and maintained a consistent distance between his cruiser and HODGES’ vehicle before closing the gap and pulling him over without further incident.

HODGES was released later Sunday morning on $750 personal recognizance.

Bedford Police Investigating Serious Crash on Rt. 101

The following reflects additions to last Friday’s release, including the identities of those involved in the crash. The crash is still under investigation by the Bedford Police Department.

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department is investigating a serious, three-car motor vehicle crash on Rt. 101 this morning that left three women injured.

On Friday at 11:16 a.m., Bedford Police and Fire responded to Rt. 101 near Covenant Way.

According to witnesses, a 1998 Toyota Camry, driven by MARY EVANS, AGE 41, of MANCHESTER, was driving at a high rate of speed and was passing other cars by driving into the oncoming, westbound traffic lane. As she tried to pass additional cars, she veered into the path of a 2000 Honda CR-V, driven by MARIE BORINO, AGE 68, of MILFORD, striking the vehicle. The impact sent the Honda off the road and into some trees. The Toyota then struck a 2015 Nissan Rogue, driven by DIANA POULETTE, AGE 78, OF BEDFORD, head-on, with the two cars coming to a rest in the middle of the roadway.

The drivers of all three vehicles, the lone occupants, were each transported to area hospitals by the Bedford Fire Department with injuries that are considered serious but not life-threatening.

The three vehicles sustained heavy damage and had to be towed from the scene. The crash resulted in Rt. 101 being closed in both directions for about one hour while the drivers were rescued, the cars and debris were removed, and police investigated. The crashed caused significant traffic delays in town.

The crash is under investigation by Bedford Police Officer Chris Storti.
