And the project has been in the DOT "10 year plan" since then. The problem is that each year it gets pushed back down the list while other state projects get funded. Maybe 10 years ago 3 high priority segments were identified between the Alton Circle and Barnstead: the Stockbridge corner intersection, the North Road intersection and the now completed new bridge in Alton. Maybe North Road will be next, dangerous vertical curve limits sight distance.
