This bill mandates the installation of sound barriers by the Department of Transportation along specific segments of the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack. The sound barriers are to be constructed on the west side of the turnpike, specifically southbound and southwest of Interchange 12, to protect the neighborhoods of Roundtree Drive, Davis Road, Vista Way, Ministerial Drive, Weston Road, and Kittridge Lane. Additionally, barriers will be placed on the west side of the southbound turnpike, northwest of Interchange 12, covering the areas of Back River Road, Bradford Drive, Belmont Drive, Raymond Drive, Small Lane, and Brookfield Drive.

The bill includes new legal language that specifies the locations for the sound barrier installation but does not indicate any deletions from current law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
