The purpose of the Keene 41590 project is to address roadway and bridge conditions along NH 101 and Swanzey Factory Road. The corridor currently requires frequent pavement repairs due to a failing underlying concrete slab and drainage deficiencies. Frequent crashes occur at the intersection of Swanzey Factory Road and NH 101 because of sight distance issues. Additionally, the NH 101 bridge over the Branch River is structurally deficient and listed on the State’s Red List.
Highway Layout Commission members for this project are Terry Clark as Chairperson, Mitch Greenwald as Commission Member, and Ken Kost as Commission Member. More details can be found in the organization’s press release.
