***Update: Thornton Ferry Rd. I Bridge over Beaver Brook***

We are continuing to work with our engineers to find a solution to the bridge closure of the TF1 bridge over Beaver Brook. Possible solutions include installing a temporary bridge spanning the old culverts.

While we are working toward a temporary solution, we are also planning to add a secondary detour at Upham Rd. and County Rd. to alleviate some of the detoured traffic on Ravine Rd. and North Meadow Rd.

We will continue to post updates on our Facebook page and Town website as they develop . We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work toward a solution.

Please call the DPW office at 603-673-2317 with any questions or concerns.
