The FEET is like a tube of toothpaste. It was widened in Nashua and started to get clogged north of Exit 10. Why do they think the same thing won't happen when they eventually get to Manchester and I-293 is still only two lanes in each direction? Improvements around Exit 5 in Manchester still have big back ups. When you get to Concord, also recently improved, traffic routinely backs up around Exit 12-Exit 15, both directions. They also want to spend $17 MM (?) to move and upgrade the (recently improved) toll plaza in Bedford. It's nice that they want to make improvements, but there really doesn't seem to be a REAL long term plan.
