This site provides perhaps the last large opportunity for significant retail development in the core of South Nashua. The site also overlooks the Merrimack River. UNDER Infrastructure Investments Exit 36 South: The City is working collaboratively with the Town of AGREEMENT Tyngsborough, MA and the Nashua Regional Planning Commission to develop a strategy to establish a southbound exit for this critical access point.

Improved access and an innovative cleanup plan will transform this former industrial backwater into a unique mixed-use community. The property, once inaccessible, will now be a prominent address on a new parkway between Downtown Nashua and the highway.

  • Purpose and Need Environmental Assessment Improvements to I-293 (FE Everett Turnpike), Exit 6 & 7 (Manchester 16099)
    Purpose and Need Environmental Assessment Improvements to I-293 (FE Everett Turnpike), Exit 6 & 7 (Manchester 16099) The draft Purpose and Need outlined here is intended to describe and support the Environmental Assessment which is being developed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Purpose and Need helps to establish the basis for the development of alternatives, and is used to compare the effectiveness and the impacts of the Proposed Action against the No Action Alternative. The Purpose and Need statement is fundamental to the analysis of a project under NEPA, the Clean Water Act (Section 404), and other environmental regulations. Purpose The purpose of this project is to address capacity, safety, and access related deficiencies along a 3.5-mile portion of Interstate 293 (FE Everett Turnpike) in Manchester, New Hampshire, beginning north of Exit 5 (Granite Street) and ending north of Exit 7 (Front Street) by: • Correcting geometric and safety deficiencies while reducing congestion at problem locations within the Study Area; • Accommodating future traffic growth related to commuter trips and the transportation of commercial goods and services through the corridor; and • Improving access to the highway consistent with the long-term vision of the communities of Manchester and Goffstown. Need Interstate 293 (FE Everett Turnpike) is a north-south toll highway in central-southern New Hampshire which serves as a major transportation corridor linking the state capitol of Concord to the residential, industrial, and commercial centers in Manchester, Nashua, and north-central Massachusetts. Interstate 293 connects other regional highways including I-93, US 3, and NH 101 and serves as a major route for commuters and commercial activity.

  • 2013 Master Plan Update, Merrimack NH
    Merrimack, NH | 2013 Master Plan Update 9. Transportation 9.1 Introduction The Master Plan Update 2002 identified several critical areas of concern relative to existing congestion, transportation deficiencies, and the lack of connectivity within the Town. In addi- tion, the need to create a long-term transportation plan that accommodates mobility within the community for its residents, businesses and visitors and promotes development consis- tent with the Town’s vision was also identified. Key recommended actions from the 2002 report are summarized below with an update on the progress completed to date. Continue to work with the state and regional officials toward implementation of the Manchester Airport Access Road (MAAR) to improve access to the Manchester Airport for Merrimack residents and businesses while also improving access to northern Merrimack’s commercial and industrial areas to the F.E. Everett Turnpike. The MAAR, now formally named Raymond Wieczorek Drive, was completed and opened for public travel in the fall of 2011. The new interchange provides full north and south access between the F.E. Everett Turnpike and US Route 3 in Bedford, just north of the Merrimack town line. This interchange partially filled a gap in the regional transportation system for northern Merrimack residents and businesses where the existing F.E. Everett Turnpike Exit 12 configuration only provides ramps to/from the south. Previously motorists in the northern portion of the Town wishing to travel to/from the Turnpike north would have to travel via US Route 3 to the I-293/NH Route 101 interchange in Bedford to complete this trip or travel south to the Exit 11 interchange.

  • Fe Everett Turnpike Widening Feasibility Report
    F.E. EVERETT TURNPIKE WIDENING FEASIBILITY REPORT Feasibility of Widening the 2-Lane Segments of the Turnpike to 3-Lanes in Each Direction from Nashua to Bedford Prepared by: NH Department of Transportation Bureau of Highway Design & Bureau of Turnpikes November 2010 1 I. INTRODUCTION This report presents the findings of a study which evaluates the feasibility of widening the 2-lane segments of the F. E. Everett Turnpike (FEET) to 3-lanes in each direction from the Massachusetts/New Hampshire state line northerly to the Interstate 293 interchange in Bedford, a total distance of approximately 20 miles. Within these study limits the Turnpike passes through the communities of Nashua, Merrimack and Bedford. See Figure 1 for a graphic of the study area. The goal of the study is to evaluate the need for widening the narrow segments, identify pertinent issues and constraints, and estimate the cost of the potential improvements. The existing Turnpike is at least 3 lanes in each direction through virtually all of Nashua, and between Exit 10 and Exit 11 in Merrimack. It is also currently being widened to 3 lanes in each direction in the vicinity of the Manchester Airport Access Road (MAAR) interchange in northern Merrimack and southern Bedford. This leaves three segments of 2-lane highway: • Southern Segment – in Nashua and Merrimack between Exit 8 and Exit 10 • Middle Segment – in Merrimack between Exit 11 and the southern limit of work of the MAAR project • Northern Segment – in Bedford between the northern limit of work of the MAAR project and the I-293 interchange The locations of the three 2-lane segments are depicted on Figure 2.

  • F.E. Everett Tolling Study
    New Hampshire Department of Transportation F.E. Everett Turnpike Tolling Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This summarizes the results of a tolling study of the F.E. Everett Turnpike from the Massachusetts State Line in Nashua to Interstate 293 in Manchester. Wilbur Smith Associates was retained by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation Bureau of Turnpikes to evaluate the potential negative toll revenue impact that the Manchester Airport Access Road (MAAR) could have on the Everett Turnpike, as well as, the feasibility of eliminating one or more of the Merrimack ramp toll plazas. Eleven alternative tolling scenarios along the Everett Turnpike were studied to assess their potential to eliminate one or more of the Merrimack ramp toll plazas, and minimize or off-set the loss of toll revenue as a result of the MAAR. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation as required by HB 2010, which was signed into law on June 28, 2010, will present a report of the F.E. Everett Turnpike study to the Governor, Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation (GACIT), House, Senate, and legislative committees on or before November 30, 2010. Details of the tolling study results are included in the full report. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION THE CENTRAL TURNPIKE The New Hampshire Turnpike system is comprised of three independent Turnpike systems; the F.E. Everett (Central) Turnpike, the Blue Star Turnpike and the Spaulding Turnpike. This study focused on the portion of the Central Turnpike from the Massachusetts State Line in Nashua to Interstate 293 in Manchester (Figure ES-1). Within these limits, there is an existing mainline toll plaza located in Bedford and three ramp toll plazas located at Bedford Road (Exit 12), Continental Boulevard (Exit 11), and Industrial Drive (Exit 10) in Merrimack.
