Welcome! We are happy to see you 🙂. Winchester Street serves as a key gateway into the heart of Keene. This project will reconstruct and improve Winchester Street from the Route 101 Roundabout to the bridge over the Ashuelot River. New roundabout intersections at Key Road/Riverside Plaza and Pearl/Island Streets are included. The bridge that carries Island Street over the Ashuelot River will be replaced. In line with the City's Complete Streets Policy, the project will address the needs of all users including bicyclists and pedestrians.

5/31/2024 Schedule Update

Thank you to the community for your patience. We are happy to report that the Island Street Bridge is now open to the public! Please drive slowly across the bridge and through the Island Street roundabout as drivers adjust to the new traffic pattern.

​

Our contractor will complete final seeding, mulching, stabilization, and cleanup work over the following weeks. We look forward to finishing this critical project and allowing the public to move efficiently through this corridor.
