Part-time lanes coming to I-95 in New Hampshire and Maine to reduce traffic this summer
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – New Hampshire and Maine are rolling out part-time lanes on I-95 in Portsmouth to help reduce traffic during peak travel times.
The “part-time shoulder use” system will be used on 3 miles of I-95 between Exit 5 in New Hampshire and Exit 3 in Maine during peak travel times from May through October. The right shoulder of the road northbound in New Hampshire and southbound in Maine will be used as an open travel lane.
Flashing beacons and warning signs will be used to alert drivers when the shoulder lane is open for travel. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation said safety patrols will also be increased when the lane is in use.
Shoulders will be closed to traffic when congestion eases or if there’s an emergency situation.

One seriously injured in small plane crash in Newport, NH
One person was seriously injured in a small plane crash in Newport, New Hampshire, on Sunday.
Newport police and fire responded to Parlin Airfield shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday for a reported plane crash. When they arrived, they said they found a private, single-engine plane in a wooded area off the end of the grass runway.
An off-duty Newport police employee had witnessed the crash, and assisted Newport fire personnel in removing the pilot from the plane. The pilot sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and was flown by medical helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon.
The pilot’s name has not been released. They were the only one in the plane at the time of the crash.
The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, with assistance from local, state and federal authorities.

AG: Man wanted in Hampton Beach shooting died by suicide
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office said a man who allegedly shot two people in Hampton Beach died by suicide when confronted by police.
In a joint statement, the state Attorney General’s office, State Police and Hampton Police Chief Alex Reno identified the man as Tyshawn Cooper, 21, of Taylors, South Carolina, who was declared dead at the scene.
Initially, officers responded to reports of a shooting at about 1:19 a.m. Sunday. Police said they located a man and woman suffering from gunshot wounds in the area of 29 Ocean Boulevard.
Officers found a man who matched the description of the suspected shooter at the intersection of P Street and Ashworth Avenue. During their interaction, police said the man pulled out a handgun and raised it, then shot himself in the head while an officer also fired.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy Sunday and determined the cause of death was suicide.
The 23-year-old man and 25-year-old woman who were shot were taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
The shootings remain under investigation.
The Attorney General’s office said it will also investigate the police officer’s use of deadly force, though the officer that fired did not cause Cooper’s death. No other injuries were reported.
