The truck traffic on this road is very heavy.

New Hampshire has the least amount of highway/interstate roads of any state. Very few roads going west/east east/west. Route 25 is one of them.
Supposedly the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System was to have one highway going from/to every state capital. Route 89 was supposed to go from Concord to Agusta, Maine. But never happened.
Trucks are the culprit. As this country gave up mostly on the train systems. At least in the northeast. From trains transporting goods to neat keen snowmobile trails.
We got logging trucks going to and fro to the wood power plant. We got local earth works dump trucks coming and going every day. We got gasoline trucks, oil trucks, and propane trucks. We got all sorts of delivery trucks delivering dry goods to Coca Cola to beer. CG Roxane is just one of many. Because this plant is actually located here this company has become the pinata of trucking.
