Bill > HB713

This bill directs the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) to install and maintain mile markers along specific segments of Route 112, also known as the Kancamagus Highway. The bill requires mile markers to be installed along the entire length of Route 112 from Lincoln to Conway, and provides optional authorization to install additional markers from Bath to Woodstock. The mile markers must be placed at regular intervals of no more than one mile and must be clearly visible and legible to motorists and emergency personnel, with the option to omit markers in densely developed highway areas. The DOT is mandated to maintain these mile markers in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Before installation, the DOT must consult with public officials from Lincoln and Albany to discuss marker design, proposed locations, and potential traffic impacts. The bill will take effect 18 months after its passage, with an estimated total implementation cost of $716,500, primarily funded through federal highway funds. The implementation is expected to span fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with potential displacement of other planned sign improvement projects.
