Probably, the Town of Meredith should own these two roads and they would be in much, much better shape; just take a look-see at nearby Pleasant St which is owned by the Town of Meredith.

They are called unnumbered state roads and are down at the bottom of the list for getting maintenance so, as a result of neglect, the pavement has enough crumbly asphalt, cracks, bulges, permanent frost heaves, waves, and missing asphalt that the town snowplows cannot lower their blades closer than about 5" to the pavement because it is simply too rough and the blade will tear up the asphalt.

You can call it what you want about sound fiscal policy and ebt cards but the real reason is because the Republican dominated (13-11) NH Senate has stopped the needed money from going to the NH Dept of Transportation so's I think it's pretty accurate to call it a republican road!
At least the "Republican Road" doesn't lead you to the "Democrat Cliff"
