posted on: 5/29/2018

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces an upcoming seven-day ramp closure at Exit 5 on the Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) in Dover to facilitate the reconstruction of the Spaulding Turnpike between the Little Bay Bridge and the Dover Toll Plaza.

On the evening of Thursday, May 31, 2018, the Spaulding Turnpike Exit 5 northbound on-ramp will be closed to vehicular traffic for roadway reconstruction across the existing ramp. This temporary ramp closure will continue until Thursday, June 7, 2018 when the on-ramp will be re-opened to traffic.

Motorists seeking to access the Spaulding Turnpike northbound from Boston Harbor Road, Dover Point Road, and Wentworth Terrace will need to take the Exit 6 southbound on-ramp onto the Spaulding Turnpike southbound, continue south to Exit 4, and reverse direction via Shattuck Way and the Exit 6 northbound on-ramp.

This work is part of the Spaulding Turnpike improvement project in Newington and Dover. Severino Trucking Company, Inc. of Candia, New Hampshire is the prime contractor for the $67 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in October 2020.
