ALBANY — A proposed safety improvement project for the Route 16 and Nickerson Road intersection took a step closer to reality Wednesday.
The project calls for widening Route 16 to add a southbound left-turn lane, starting about 500 feet south of Nickerson Road and ending roughly 1,000 feet north of the intersection. Nickerson Road is located approximately 0.8 miles north of the Tamworth town line.
