Rt. 11 Construction in Alton

DRH · 05-28-2005, 06:26 AM

I am pretty sure the sign refers to next Thursday, 6/2. The state DOT is planning to put a thin overlay of new asphalt on Rt. 11 between Minge Cove Rd. and the Ellacoya State Park area, and I think the work that was done last week was in preparation for that new coat of asphalt. That stretch of road needs to be dug up and completely rebuilt, but that major project is not expected to be undertaken until 2010 - 2013.

Yesterday two illuminated signs went up on Rt. 11, one at the Rt. 11A intersection and the other near Precious Gardens, announcing that road construction will begin on July 12 (next Tuesday).

The roadway between the two signs is being resurfaced, the old cable guard rails are being replaced, the rock cliffs near the Scenic View are being "scaled", and the Minge Cove Rd. intersection is being relocated.

This should make trips to Guilfod and Laconia fun for a little while! But I guess it will be worth it at the end. The other section of Rt 11 that they completed is great !

There's always rte 11D to miss some of the just sitting there times, or take a leisurely ride out 140 to 107 to get to Gilford/Laconia and enjoy the ride. Sorry, DRH, no easy way for you to go!!!!
