Lebanon, NH, Mechanic/High/Mascoma Street Roundabout Project Update - Week of November 9, 2026
Lebanon, NH, Mechanic/High/Mascoma Street Roundabout Project Update - Week of November 9, 2026
During the coming week, the contractor will work on sidewalk paving and temporary pavement markings, including line striping and crosswalks. A crew will also continue installing the Rapid Flashing Beacon systems at each roundabout crosswalk.
Access to the Northern Rail Trail remains open at the Mechanic Street/High Street/Mascoma Street intersection. Flaggers will be present during active construction operations to assist pedestrians and motorists. Although some crosswalks at the roundabout approaches may appear accessible, the City encourages pedestrians to continue using the designated detour route until all crosswalk safety features and traffic control measures have been fully installed and activated.
The City would also like to clarify the purpose of the red stamped pathway located through the center of the roundabout. This feature was included as a requirement of the Memorandum of Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, NHDOT, and the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. The pathway is intended to commemorate and reflect the historic linear alignment of the Northern Railroad that once passed through the intersection. It is NOT intended for use as a crosswalk or as part of the Northern Rail Trail pedestrian route.
Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians should continue to expect delays and exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone.
