posted on: 4/12/2024

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) will begin nighttime road work on Sunday, April 14, 2024, on the Spaulding Turnpike (Route 16) in Dover. This work will require lane closures and temporary ramp closures to facilitate milling and paving operations. Message boards and detour signs will help guide the traveling public through the detours when the ramps are closed.

The work will be on northbound and southbound lanes, from mile marker 6.2 (old Dover toll booth) to mile marker 9.3 (approximately Exit 7).

Weather and temperature permitting, paving will begin at approximately 8 p.m. each night and end the following morning by 5 a.m.

Motorists should remain alert while traveling through the construction zone and obey all posted signs. Motorists are also encouraged to sign up for free, real-time construction and traffic-related messages (text or email) from https://newengland511.org/.

Pike Industries, Inc is the prime contractor on this $2.8 million project to be completed by September 2024.
