Hookset Toll Question
We noticed that there is some clearing being done near the toll plaza. I wonder if they are considering making changes to allow high speed EZ pass lanes such as other states now have. Every minute saved is more time at the lake.

I love it, think it is a great idea, a that-a-boy out of me for sure
does anyone think that heading North it will make a Bottleneck when you get down the Hill to the Rt 89 Split heading into Concord because the car flow will be faster and it jumps down to 2 lans |
They just started making this change at the Newport Bridge here in Rhode Island. They say it will allow you to go through the fast lane at 40 MPH. I don't really know why they need it here because I have never seen a back up at this locaton. There just isn't that much traffic at $4 one way for Out of Staters . :look: NB

One more thing, and I am in this type of a mood today LOL
anyone else notice that R.S. Audley Inc has be doing all the Work on NH highways, including Rt 3 and Rt 95 as well as Rt 93. only say it because they place their large trailer at every work site there I go, starting speculation rumors again that they are winning all the work:D |
WB: I LIKE your SIG. :) NB

Wonder if we'll ever see anything like that at the Bedford tolls?? :rolleye2:

I see more and more area business's vowing only to use local contractors to complete building projects. Cantins is one example. |

Open-road tolling is great. I use it all the time with my Sunpass when I am in Florida. It saves a great deaL of time.

The owner of RS Audley is a long time friend of mine. Very solid upstanding local company that is based only a mile or so from the tolls on Rt 3a in Bow.

I think Vita was just stating the same as I, with yup, they seem to get all the jobs.
Which you know is fine with me, being a NH company, just odd that they win all the major bids. Sorry for the speculation was just making a observation |

For info on what companies are doing the work, go to www.rebuildingi93.com Yes, Audley gets a lot of the work in NH. Fine by me, since they are a local company, and their business HQ is in my town. ;) |
Sam Audley also has a place on the lake! He's a heck of a nice guy and provides a lot of jobs to local citizens.

I went all through grammar school and high school with the Audley's. We all grew up in Bedford, NH. The three boys were very nice kids.

I-93 Improvements
Like many NH natives, I am against interstate highway improvements. It is like opening the floodgates to permanent residents of the folks who lives outside NH.

speed tolls
It's about time NH DOT did some thinking.
When first EZ pass was in design and construction, I emailed them pics of express lanes on NJ Turnpike, a Delaware toll at 55MPH. And also pics of the EZ Pass lanes to left only, because in middle is confusing and inconsistent with most others..... |

Agreed. what is needed more is a third lane through Concord. Too many on/off ramps in that short bit of highway, and with the big S turn/ hill blocking all forward view it is just downright dangerous. I love it when the State Police park on the grass at the S turn. That just makes everyone take their eyes off the road.:rolleye2: You got to love it there when there is a race too.:D

Some people will say, well why don't you work in NH? Well, to that I would say that there are a couple reasons. For me, there are few jobs in NH in the industry I work in, and secondly, for the few places that have jobs like I do, the pay is significantly lower. As much as I hate the commute, it is worth the trip. |

Commuter Rail
The interstate is the biggest reason the commuter rail system is nonexistent. I remember back in the 50's and 60's taking the train from Laconia to Boston. It was a fun trip.
When I was working in Nashua in the late 70's, early 80's, there was commuter rail to Boston. Now I understand there are no commuter rail service North of Lowell. I envision spending zillions of dollars on inter/intrastates, gas goes up to $10 a gallon and we have nothing to show for it. One big reason to spend the money on public transportation. A good example is the city of Denver or Seattle, it is cool to go public transportation. The buses, rails run on natural gas. There is an abundant supply of gas and clean to boot! |

Just look at all the state roads around town that have been in need of repair for EVER. Like Rt-107, but because the race track brings in sooo much money they pave a perfectly good 106 instead. They do what they want to do not whats right or makes sense,but then again they are state agencys and union workers, that makes them usless time two. |
