City Plans to Repave Little Harbor Road This Week

The City of Portsmouth Department of Public Works is planning to repave Little Harbor Road to improve the surface before winter weather arrives.

The road work will start November 1, with surface grinding scheduled to start November 2 and will take several days as road crews grind down the existing surface and then put down a binder layer. The road will be accessible throughout, though travel will be limited to one lane, alternating traffic. Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic.

The final paving will take place next spring after the Parking & Traffic Safety Committee has an opportunity to review options for the traffic-calming measures as requested by residents of Little Harbor Road that residents have requested.

The Little Harbor Road project is one of many paving projects managed by DPW in accordance with the Capital Improvement Plan and available funding.
