[edit] Route description


[edit] Southern segment

The southern segment of NH 16A is a loop road in the town of Bartlett. It splits off from U.S. Route 302 and NH 16, runs parallel to that highway for 2.4 miles (3.9 km), then rejoins US 302 and NH 16. The local name of NH 16A is Intervale Resort Loop.

Officially, NH 16A is also designated U.S. Route 302 Business, but it is not signed as such anywhere along its route.[2] This is a rare instance of a hidden route in New Hampshire, and is interesting in that a duplicate state numbering has been given precedence over a unique federal one.

[edit] Northern segment

The northern segment of NH 16A is a loop road in Jackson that is slightly more than a mile long. This road leaves NH 16, travels east to meet both the southern and northern termini of New Hampshire Route 16B (separated by merely 500 feet) and returns to NH 16, passing through the Wentworth Golf Club. The local name for this route is Village Road, and its total length is 1.03 miles.[2]
