Circumferential Highway (Nashua)
The Circumferential Highway is the commonly accepted name for a bypass route around the city of Nashua in southern New Hampshire, the majority of which has not yet been built. The purpose of the highway is to provide an alternate route for commuters to access the F.E. Everett Turnpike and U.S. Route 3 in Nashua. Most of the highway will be built in Hudson, with small sections also built through the towns of Litchfield and Merrimack as well as the city of Nashua.
Currently, the only segment to be built is a short 2-mile (3.2 km) interchange road between US 3, the Daniel Webster Highway, and N.H. Route 3A. This section utilizes the Sagamore Bridge, one of the two current bridges over the Merrimack River connecting Hudson to Nashua. The completed section begins at US 3, terminates at NH Route 3A to the east, and has a single interchange between its termini with the D.W. Highway before it crosses the river.

Famous quotes containing the word highway:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
