Hi, underorbit.
The map says that you made some changes to roads at Exit 6E and Exit 6W on NH route 16. Did you change them to match the satellite images of the area? If so, you should know that there has been a massive construction project in the area, and the roads are drastically different now. The satellite images available in that area are very out of date. For instance, exit 4E has been completely removed, and the General Sullivan Bridge has been demolished and rebuilt in a new location. Several completely new roads have been constructed in the area as well. Unfortunately, none of this can be seen in the satellite photography.
I had recorded several traces of the new road layout and made the necessary corrections several months ago, but those corrections have all been removed. I've asked a more experienced editor for assistance in reverting the recent changes, but I would like to let whoever made the changes know why it's being reverted. I think it was you. Either way, thank you for your work on the map.
Regards,

My apologies! :-) I grew up in NH and have had a really dry spell at work, so I've been trying to refine roads that look messy to me/enjoy the satellite views of my home state to pass the time. I knew they were doing a massive overhaul on the southern end of the Spaulding Turnpike, but was unaware that the available satellite photos were that out of date there, or that they'd made so much progress on the construction (not exactly characteristic for NHDOT!). I'm sorry I undid your work...thank you for letting me know, and I'll be more careful in the future.

Thanks, Rick.
Yeah, they've really put our toll money to work. The general Sullivan isn't complete yet, but you should see the new Memorial Bridge (from downtown Portsmouth to Kittery). Its beautiful. They have also torn down the Sarah Long bridge, and the new one is under construction. I can't wait to see it complete. The old one was a disaster waiting to happen. I think the new General Sullivan will be 6-8 lanes when its done. -

I'll be visiting summer 2018 and can't wait to see it all! :-) Particularly all the new bridges - hopefully the General Sullivan is closer to completion by then. I also REALLY need to see what they've done with I-93...
