DANIEL WEBSTER HIGHWAY, MERRIMACK Congestion Congestion Management Report DANIEL WEBSTER HIGHWAY, MERRIMACK Segment Length: 9.9 miles Number of Traffic Signals: 14 Daily Traffic Volumes: 13,000-21,000 Number of travel lanes: 2-4 Analysis Period: July – August 2015 Roadway Class: I (Statewide Corridor—Other, Minor Arterial) and IV (Local Road, Minor Arterial) Serving as a major north-south corridor for Merrimack, this remainder of the Daniel Webster Highway within Merrimack segment of the Daniel Webster Highway overlaps with U.S. is designated as a Class I road, which is maintained by the Route 3. The route runs from the southeastern to the State of New Hampshire. northeastern portion of the town, paralleling the F.E. Everett Turnpike and the Merrimack River. Since this segment parallels the F.E. Everett Turnpike, it is an alternative commuting route for those working within In Merrimack, the Daniel Webster Highway includes a southern New Hampshire and the metropolitan Boston area. number of industrial, commercial, and residential uses. As It is also a vital road for freight transportation and local this road passes through the neighborhoods of Reeds Ferry attractions, including the Merrimack Premium Outlets and and Merrimack Village, there is some level of pedestrian and Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Due to its role as a commuting cycling activity along the route. However, the sidewalk corridor and its mixture of uses, the Daniel Webster Highway network throughout the corridor in Merrimack is sporadic. is expected to have some degree of congestion during peak travel times. From Greeley Street (which connects to Exit 11 on the Turnpike) to Bedford Road (which connects to Exit 12 on the Future projects on the F.E. Everett Turnpike may help to Turnpike), the Daniel Webster Highway is designated as a alleviate traffic congestion on the Daniel Webster in Class IV Road, as this portion of Merrimack is considered an Merrimack, since the Highway tends to collect spillover urban compact area. Due to this designation, this section of traffic during peak travel hours. the Highway is maintained by the Town of Merrimack. The Report, travel time runs and data analysis conducted by 2017 AM Peak Period Actual & Expected Travel Times Corridor Extents: Daniel Webster Highway, Bedford Town Line to Nashua City Line Expected Travel Time during the Morning Commute 16 minutes and 51 seconds, traveling in northerly direction based upon posted speeds and free flowing traffic 16 minutes and 35 seconds, traveling in southerly direction based upon posted speeds and free flowing traffic Actual Travel Time during the Morning Commute:* Northbound Southbound 17 minutes and 48 seconds 16 minutes and 44 seconds 57 seconds (6%) longer than expected 11 seconds (1%) longer than expected *The actual travel time is based upon a single travel run that was similar in duration and congestion to the average observed travel time. PM Peak Period Actual & Expected Travel Times Corridor Extents: Daniel Webster Highway, Bedford Town Line to Nashua City Line Expected Travel Time during the Evening Commute 16 minutes and 51 seconds, traveling in northerly direction based upon posted speeds and free flowing traffic 16 minutes and 35 seconds, traveling in southerly direction based upon posted speeds and free flowing traffic Actual Travel Time during the Evening Commute:* Northbound Southbound 21 minutes and 00 seconds 18 minutes and 00 seconds 4 minutes and 9 seconds (25%) longer than expected 1 minute and 25 seconds (9%) less than expected *The actual travel time is based upon a single travel run that was similar in duration and congestion to the average observed travel time. AM Travel Time Ratios (7:00am—9:00am) Corridor Extents: Daniel Webster Highway, Bedford Town Line to Nashua City Line Travel Time Ratio A travel time ratio (TTR) compares the actual (measured) & expected (non- congested) travel times along a corridor. It is assumed that in non-congested conditions, motorists can travel at the posted speed limit. The actual time is the average of several travel time runs. The ratio between the actual time and the expected time would equal 1 for a non- congested segment. Southbound Congestion does not occur during the morning peak period in the southbound direction along the entire length of the corridor, as indicated by ratios of 1.06 or less. On average, travel along the corridor in the southbound direction during the morning commute takes approximately 28 seconds (3%) shorter as compared to free-flow conditions. Northbound Congestion does not occur during the morning peak period in the northbound direction along the entire length of the corridor, as shown in the figure on the left with ratios of 1.08 or less. On average, travel along the corridor in the northbound direction during the morning commute takes approximately 2 seconds (0.2%) shorter as compared to free-flow conditions. PM Travel Time Ratios (4:00pm—6:00pm) Corridor Extents: Daniel Webster Highway, Bedford Town Line to Nashua City Line Travel Time Ratio A travel time ratio (TTR) compares the actual (measured) & expected (non- congested) travel times along a corridor. It is assumed that in non- congested conditions, motorists can travel at the posted speed limit. The actual time is the average of several travel time runs. The ratio between the actual time and the expected time would equal 1 for a non-congested segment. Southbound Congestion does not occur during the evening peak period in the southbound direction along the entire length of the corridor. On average, travel along the corridor in the southbound direction during the evening commute takes approximately 1:59 minutes (12%) longer as compared to free-flow conditions. Northbound Congestion occurs during the evening peak period in the northbound direction between Industrial Boulevard and Baboosic Lake Road with ratios of 1.96 and 2.01, respectively. On average, travel along the corridor in the northbound direction during the evening commute takes approximately 5:42 minutes (33%) longer as compared to free-flow conditions. A Commercial Corridor The form of the Daniel Webster Highway through Merrimack reflects the suburban character of the Town. While there are segments of the corridor which have infrastructure for pedestrian and bicycling movement, the Highway primarily services automobile transportation. No on-street parking exists along the Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, but there is a plentiful supply of off-street parking. This contributes to the ease of motor vehicle travel along the corridor. There is a definitive change in the character of the corridor depending on whether it is within the urban compact area (a Class IV road). The southern portion of the road, outside the urban compact area has more industrial uses. When the Daniel Webster Highway becomes a Class IV road, there is a an increase in the number of curbs cuts and a decrease in the speed limit. This reflects the many commercial uses that exist along this segment, including retail, restaurant and office establishments. Within the urban compact area, there are also many single family and multi-family dwellings. These residences, which are in close proximity to the commercial uses, contribute to the “village-like” feel along this segment of the Highway. The Daniel Webster Highway through Merrimack generally operates as it should because it is reasonable to expect traffic along the corridor to be “congested” given the mix of uses. The fact that there is some motor vehicle congestion means the corridor is a desirable location. Whereas motorists may find it frustrating that it takes longer to travel the corridor, retail business owners surely welcome the vibrant environment that may attract customers. Project Highlight F.E. Everett Turnpike Widening As part of the 2017 - 2020 Transportation Improvement Program, the two lane sections of the F.E. Everett Turnpike from Exit 8 in Nashua to the I-293 interchange in Bedford will be widened. This will make the Turnpike consistently three lanes from the Massachusetts border to I-293. This project is one of the strategies outlined in Nashua Regional Planning Commission Congestion Management Process. It is considered a traditional way to deal with congestion. The expected benefits of this improvement project are that it will increase the capacity of the road, which may reduce congestion, and improve safety and air quality. Although the widening of the Turnpike is not a project that is on the Daniel Webster Highway, it is expected to have significant effects on the Merrimack segment. F.E. Everett Turnpike Interchange 11 is one major point of congestion because the on- ramp lane merges onto the Turnpike right at the point where the number of travels lanes drops from three to two. When there is a larger amount of congestion of the Turnpike at this bottleneck point, drivers will get off the Turnpike and use the Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack to avoid the increased traffic (as evidenced in the PM Travel Time Ratios). This has effects on the local traffic that uses the Daniel Webster Highway during peak driving times. The Nashua Regional Planning Commission plans to complete an additional congestion analysis of the Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack after the impacts of the improvements on the F. E. Everett Turnpike Probe Travel Time Data are fully in effect. Probe Data analysis was not included in this report, as in other Congestion Management reports. This is due to limited availability of probe data for this segment of the Daniel Webster Highway and for the time period when this study was done. Projects There are several infrastructure projects along and near the Daniel Webster Highway that could impact the corridor. Previously completed projects focused on improving the ease of access to the Daniel Webster Highway, such as the removal of the Exit 12 tolls.

    NASHUA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION CIRCUMFERENTIAL HIGHWAY “WHITE PAPER” September 17, 2003 NASHUA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION CIRCUMFERENTIAL HIGHWAY “WHITE PAPER” September 17, 2003 INTRODUCTION The Nashua Regional Planning Commission is currently evaluating the proposed Hudson-Nashua Circumferential Highway project. Due to a number of factors, NRPC feels that it is prudent for the affected municipalities (Hudson, Litchfield, Merrimack and Nashua) and the general public to take a step back and reassess to this project. 1) The project has been moved out of the first ten years of the State’s Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan (“Ten Year Plan”) due to state transportation funding constraints. 2) The most expensive part of the project is the portion that connects Route 3/DW Highway in Merrimack with the Everett Turnpike (which is within the Pennichuck Watershed). 3) Political support for the project is unclear. 4) The permitting process has been long and ongoing, and is not resulting in closure on this controversial project. 5) The project as proposed is likely to hit stiff opposition from environmental groups and from communities within the Pennichuck Brook Watershed, as a portion of the highway will be built within that watershed. 6) Central Hudson and downtown Nashua continue to experience significant traffic congestion, and a viable relief is needed. 7) There have been major changes to the region’s transportation plans since the project was originally conceived. 8) The NHDOT has acquired right-of-way for the partial build, and Hudson, Litchfield and Merrimack have included the alignment in their master plans. Development proposals are required to accommodate the right-of-way.

  • 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.

  • 2013 Master Plan Update, Merrimack NH
    Merrimack, NH | 2013 Master Plan Update 2. Land Use and Community Design 2.1 Introduction An understanding of the Merrimack’s historic and existing land use patterns, regulations, growth trends, natural resources, and infrastructure is useful in identifying opportunities and constraints to future development potential of the Town. Land use within a community is represented by the historic pattern of residential, commercial, industrial, municipal and insti- tutional development, interspersed with what is generally considered as open space, such as forests and natural features, undeveloped land, agriculture and parks and recreational areas. The evolution of land use within a community is the product of local economic conditions and community preferences; growth and development is based on such factors as access to jobs, employment, and the availability of affordable land for new housing or commercial development. Community preferences, expressed as land use plans and regulations, dictate the use, form, location, and sometimes the pace, of new development. Land use forms the basis for master planning and determines, to a large extent, a Town’s need to provide public facilities and infrastructure, transportation networks and services, and protection of environ- mental resources. As communities plan for their future, determining how and where growth and development should occur will provide the basis for planning where investments for municipal services will be needed, as well as determining what controls will be necessary to protect areas of the Town from unwanted development. Communities have the ability to control land use and development patterns through a variety of mechanisms, including zoning and subdivision regulations, provision of public utilities and infrastructure, and protection of open space lands through direct purchase and the acquisition or acceptance of conservation restrictions/easements.
