Conway Bypass (New Hampshire)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Conway Bypass is a proposed rerouting of New Hampshire Route 16 around the villages of Center Conway and North Conway. Though it has been in a proposal stage for decades, the project is still slowly moving forward. To date, multiple related early stage projects have been completed, including most recently upgrading North-South Road near North Conway.

The proposed route is split into three stages - southern, middle, and northern.

[edit] Southern leg

The southern section is planned to run from the two lane section of present day Route 16 near the Conway - Albany, New Hampshire border to the U.S. Route 302 - New Hampshire Route 113 intersection, effectively detouring to the south of Center Conway. To date, no major work has been done on this section. The estimated $65 million southern leg project is not expected to commence for another six years (Conway Daily Sun, February 25, 2008).

[edit] Middle leg

The middle section of the highway is planned to run from the U.S. Route 302 - New Hampshire Route 113 intersection to near the present day Walmart location. Portions of this leg have seen preliminary work, such as clearing.

[edit] Northern leg

The northern section of the highway is planned to run adjacent to North-South Road near North Conway. Preliminary work has been done to facilitate this, including a leg leading from a new rotary.
