Emergency Construction | Intersection of High Street and Portsmouth Ave

Update 4/21/17: HIGH STREET WILL BE OPEN TO THROUGH TRAFFIC THIS AFTERNOON

Final repairs to the collapsed 18-inch sewer main on High Street in Exeter have been completed. Paving will be completed this afternoon. Concrete sidewalk repairs will be made tomorrow. This is the final status update for this project.

Update 4/21/17: Unitil has completed the relocation of the high-pressure gas main away from the collapsed sewer on High Street in Exeter. Exeter Public Works and construction crews from Severino Trucking are replacing the collapsed 18-inch sewer main, which is anticipated to take 3 days. Once the new pipe is installed, the sewer bypass pumping and temporary lines will be removed and road paving completed.

The intersection of High Street (NH Routes 27 & 111) and Portsmouth Avenue (NH Route 108) remains closed to through traffic resulting in the rerouting of traffic in this area (see detour route map). Through motorists are advised to seek alternate routes. All businesses remain open. The detour is anticipated to run through Tuesday, April 25.
