State to give Exit 4A updates

Aug. 4—DERRY — The New Hampshire Department of Transportation will be in town to give updates and information on the long-awaited Exit 4A project.

A public informational meeting is set for Thursday, Aug. 4 at West Running Brook Middle School, 1 West Running Brook Lane.

The night begins with an open house at 6 p.m. where people can view plans and chat with project leaders. Than a formal presentation begins at 7 p.m.

The project dates back many decades and is planned to help alleviate traffic congestion, improve safety and help promote economic development and vitality in the area.

The planned route involves a new diamond interchange on I-93 in Londonderry, approximately a mile north of Exit 4.

A mile-long connector would be built from that interchange across to Folsom Road, near the intersection of High Street and Madden Road in Derry. Folsom and Tsienneto roads would get improvements, upgrades and new signaling across to where Exit 4A would then end at Tsienneto and Route 102.

The state purchased several properties to make way for the new project and some demolition work has already begun.

The plan is all part of a goal to improve the traffic flow coming off the interstate through Derry and to promote economic vitality in the Derry and Londonderry area, state officials said at prior public meetings.

The project will be done in specific phases.
