Plan for extra traffic in southern NH
 

Bike weekend, the new Outlet mall opening in Merrimack and the Rock-in Rib Fest at the Bud plant in Merrimack.
Towns are already planning road closures as well as for extra heavy traffic through the Merrimack area Friday through Sunday evening.
Outlet stores open at 9am today.
Rib Fest runs the weekend.

And don't forget the Concord tolls. Heading south through them this morning traffic was pretty backed up as they were channeling three lanes into one. Of course I saw absolutely nothing going on in the two closed lanes. Not even a parked pice of equipment...
