Westbound detour to begin April 15 on NH Route 9 in Hopkinton

HOPKINTON — The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces a planned westbound detour for traffic on N.H. Route 9 in Hopkinton is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 15. This detour is necessary to allow for preservation work on the NH Route 9/US 202 bridges over Elm Brook and the Contoocook River that are located between I-89 Exit 5 and NH Route 127.

Beginning April 15, motorists seeking to travel west on N.H. Route 9/U.S. Route 202 will be directed to Exit 6 and across N.H. Route 127 to return back to N.H. Route 9/U.S. Route 202. This westbound detour is expected to be in place for about three months.

There will be no detour of N.H. Route 9/U.S. Route 202 eastbound traffic.

The preservation work on both bridges includes replacement of the bridge deck pavements and membranes, deck repairs, replacement of expansion joints, and complete repainting of the structural steel.

Beck and Bellucci Inc. from Franklin, New Hampshire is the prime contractor for the $2.6 million project, which has a scheduled completion date of Oct. 18.
