GORHAM — Two sections of state law prohibit the so-called “Black Trestle” over Route 16 from being used to advertise the services of North Country Healthcare and/or its dedicated workers, NHDOT Traffic Bureau Administrator and Engineer William “Bill” Lambert told town manager Denise Vallee last week.

She, in turn, informed the board that the state had reacted swiftly to NCH’s request.
