1901.0. "1 less bridge to cross Merrimack river NH USA" by SOLVIT::DESMARAIS () Thu Apr 11 1991 09:03

    For those bikers in the Nashua NH area you should be aware that
    there will be one fewer bridges for bike access across the Merrimack
    river when the new Circumferential Highway is built.. The bridge
    in South Nashua across from the old State Liquor store will be
    closed to bikes and pedestrians when the toll road is built.. There
    will also be a new bridge built from Litchfield to Nashua or Merrimack
    with no bike or pedestrian access..
    
    If you think both of these bridges should have pedestrian/bike
    access send a letter to:
    
    Reference: Hudson/Nashua Circumferential Highway

    New Hampshire Dept. of Transportation

1901.1	Not if I can help it!	BROKE::RUSTIE::NALE	Expert Only: I'll do it anyway	`Mon Apr 15 1991 15:36`	6
	Thanks for alerting us to this. I live in the area and use that bridge a lot on my rides. I've drafted a letter to Mr. Cyr and it'll be in the mail tomorrow. Sue
1901.2	Organized resistance	OFFHK::MURRAY	Tom, Telecom AD and Architecture, MKO2-1/D9	`Mon Apr 15 1991 15:55`	5
	That's an amazing bit of news. I'm a member of the Granite State Wheelmen, there must be 1000 or more members, so I'll work to get them organized to protest this. Tom
1901.3	Great..	SOLVIT::DESMARAIS		`Tue Apr 16 1991 08:22`	9
	I sent him a letter and he responded that there wasn't enough interest so it will be good for him to find out there is... The Town of Litchfield wanted bike and pedestrian access but.. If you could get the Granite State Wheelmen to make the State aware that people do ride bikes and it is more than just a few it would be great.. Could you send me more info about the Granite State Wheelmen?

	Anyone know the current status?
1901.5	What DOT told me	NOVA::FISHER	US Patent 5225833	`Fri Oct 15 1993 08:43`	5
	When the Sagamore bridge is finished it will not have bicycle access. There will be another bridge suspended from it that will allow both pedestrian and bicycle access. ed
