CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Two more public hearings have been set to gather more feedback on a plan to increase turnpike toll rates across New Hampshire.
The Executive Council had been scheduled to vote on the hikes last week but the vote was delayed to give the public more time to comment.
One hearing will be held Tuesday night at the Department of Transportation in Concord. The second will be Wednesday night at Manchester City Hall.
Under the proposal, the rates in Hooksett and Bedford would increase from $1 to $1.50, Dover and Rochester tolls would increase from 75 cents to $1, and Hampton tolls would go from $2 to $2.50. It would be the first system-wide increase in a decade, and would raise money for highway projects.
