The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces that night work on the Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) to facilitate the reconstruction of the Exit 6 Interchange on the Spaulding Turnpike in Dover is under way.

Nighttime construction operations on the Spaulding Turnpike allow for the demolition of the old Exit 6 bridge that previously carried US Route 4 over the Spaulding Turnpike in Dover. Lane closures and short-term detours are in place on the Spaulding Turnpike southbound and northbound for this work. Message Boards, traffic control devices, signage, and uniformed officers/flaggers will be used to help direct motorists through the work zone.

The night work is expected to continue through Oct. 12. Nighttime work hours will be from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Adverse weather conditions could delay this work.

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.
