Service Credit Union's Boston-Portsmouth Air Show: Seacoast traffic warning - Air show may cause weekend driving delays


PORTSMOUTH — Seacoast residents planning on traveling anywhere this weekend — both in and around town, as well as out of the state — will need to plan ahead and give themselves plenty of time because of the Service Credit Union's Boston-Portsmouth Air Show this weekend.

According to Bill Boynton of the N.H. Department of Transportation's Public Information Office, although no significant traffic measures have been established, planning and coordination with turnpike officials should help keep traffic moving as efficiently as possible. Boynton explained electronic messages such as 'DO NOT PULL OVER TO VIEW AIR SHOW' and 'REMAIN ON ROAD' typically send messages that motorists adhere to.

Although he couldn't speculate on how heavy the traffic or the amount of time expected for delays will be, Boynton did acknowledge there will be considerable traffic on both Saturday and Sunday.

"The Air Show is obviously going to generate a lot of traffic, people should realize this and give themselves extra time depending on where they need to go," said Boynton.
