Bridge Closure on Route 152 in Nottingham

Traffic will be impacted for approximately 5 weeks

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) will begin the replacement of the bridge carrying NH Route 152 over the North River between Freeman Hall Rd and Priest Rd in Nottingham.  The bridge will be fully closed to traffic from Monday, July 6, 2026 through Saturday, August 8, 2026 and motorists will be directed to follow the signed detour via Routes 4 and 125.  There will be no pedestrian or bicycle access through the work zone during the closure.

Weather permitting, work is scheduled to be performed every day throughout the closure period and will use precast concrete pieces to expedite the completion. Ancillary work will be performed both before and after the full closure for utility relocations, paving, striping and slope work and will utilize single lane alternating traffic at times.
