Guess what project did not get approved by the governor in the most recent 10-year plan (2025-2034)? 


Not Approved by GACIT

Statewide 40915 Remove Tier 1 Roadways, Exit sign renumbering (Interstates and divided highways) - Do not include

That was totally predictable as Governor Sequential (Sununu) has opposed renumbering the exits from sequential-to-mileage-based since it was first proposed in 2019. Since Sununu will not seek a fifth term, there is a small chance the exit renumbering plan will be approved by the next governor of New Hampshire. I am sure the DOT will continue to post the exit renumbering proposal in each 10-year plan until it finally gets approved, if it ever does.

Didn't see this posted...

LONDONDERRY, N.H. —
The northbound lanes of Interstate 93 in Londonderry will be closed for 4 nights while new steel girders are set on the new Exit 4A bridge, New Hampshire DOT said.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation said starting Monday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m., traffic will be rerouted through the new northbound ramps and re-enter onto I-93.

Apparently NHDOT isn't free to choose their own method of exit numbering.

Looks like they're replacing mile markers along NH 101...

Anyone with boots on the ground who can see if the new mile markers will be correct, or not?  They currently begin with "100" at I-93 outside Manchester, some 40 miles over reality.

Press release also states the project also included I-89, I-93, I-293, and I-393.  I'm guessing this was also mile marker replacement on those routes.

Will the new mile marker signs have the same numbers as the old mile marker signs? The new mile marker signs should be based on the distance from NH 101's western terminus at NH 9/NH 10/NH 12 in Keene.

Next time I am up there I will keep an eye out. I'm likelier to ride over it on a bike then drive on it anytime soon.

That is what I'm wondering.  The present mile markers start at the I-93/NH 101 interchange, with the first mile marker being 100, and counting up as you go east.  That's some 40 miles above what they should be.  No idea why it was done that way.  And no idea if the new mile markers will represent the correct mileage, or not.

Probably done that way to distinguish the mostly-freeway segment east of I-93 from the mostly 2-lane segment west of I-293.
