BARTLETT — The state is going to widen the 2.5-mile stretch of road on Route 16 in Intervale known as the Intervale Flats, but it won’t be until next spring, according to Gene Chandler, chair of the Bartlett Board of Selectmen, who got the news from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation on Wednesday.

“I have bad and good news,” Chandler said by phone. “The bad news is the state isn’t planning to change the lining this year. The good news is they will widen it next spring when they stripe. I think that might be the best we can do for now.”
