Concord, NH – Drivers across New Hampshire are facing slower commutes today after speed limits on sections of I-93 and I-89 were temporarily reduced due to deteriorating weather conditions.
According to the New Hampshire State Police, speeds have been lowered to 45 mph on affected stretches of both interstates as a storm moves across the region Tuesday. State officials urged anyone who must travel to do so cautiously as visibility, traction, and roadway conditions continue to worsen throughout the day.
The reduced limits apply to multiple portions of I-93 and I-89, two of the state’s most heavily traveled corridors connecting cities including Concord, Manchester, Lebanon, and the Lakes Region. Drivers should prepare for extended travel times, heavier congestion, and potential delays as snow and wind intensify during the afternoon and evening commute.
State Police say the restrictions will remain in place until conditions improve. Additional advisories or closures may be issued if the storm strengthens or if crashes begin to accumulate along major routes. Commuters are encouraged to check real-time updates through New Hampshire DOT’s 511 system and local weather alerts.
Motorists are also advised to keep extra distance between vehicles, clear snow and ice before driving, and avoid unnecessary travel until the storm moves out of the region later tonight.
