The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) is inching closer to beginning construction on the Exit 4A project that was conceived over 30 years ago.
On Thursday, Aug. 4, NHDOT staff will be holding an Open House from 6 to 7 p.m., at the West Running Brook Middle School Gymnasium located at 1 West Running Brook Lane. Following the Open House, a presentation of the latest advancements in the project will take place starting at 7 p.m.
The NHDOT recently announced the advancing of the final design for the Derry-Londonderry 13065 I-93 Exit 4A project, saying that the project will reduce congestion, improve safety, and promote economic vitality in the project corridor.
The Public Informational Meeting has been scheduled to provide a project overview with a design update focusing on the 13065B project. The meeting will begin with an Open House where participants can view project plans and ask questions of project team members. A formal presentation will follow the Open House.
