AMP: N/A

Location: Claremont Rd and River Rd, Charlestown

Reassurance shield after the 12A split.

Location: Claremont Rd and Unity Stage Rd, Charlestown

Reassurance shield a half mile or so later.

Location: Charlestown Rd and Happy Acres Rd, Claremont

Soon thereafter, we’ll enter Claremont.

Location: Charlestown Rd and Grissom Ln, Claremont

As we come into Claremont center, we’re advised we can use Grissom Lane to connect to NH 12 west of town and the bridge to Vermont’s I-91 and US 5.

Location: Charlestown Rd and Grissom Ln, Claremont

Turn left to connect to Interstate Vermont 91 and U.S. 5.

Location: Charlestown Rd and Grissom Ln, Claremont

Reassurance shield after Grissom Lane.

Location: Charlestown Rd and Maple Ave, Claremont

Follow Maple Avenue for a truck bypass of 11 east/12 north. Stay straight to stay on 11/12.

Location: Pleasant St and Summer St, Claremont

As we enter Claremont, keep right for a bypass of 11 east towards Lebanon, Newport, and Sunapee.

Location: Pleasant St and Summer St, Claremont

Turn right for a bypass of 11 east towards Routes 103 and 120. 11/12 stay straight for another block.

Location: Pleasant St and Glidden St, Claremont

A block later, we’ll approach Route 103 east. Keep right for 11/103 east and 12 north to Route 120. The whole downtown area acts as one big roundabout-type intersection.

Location: Glidden St and Broad St, Claremont

A block later, turn left for 11/103 east and 12 north to Route 120 – not quite signed here as that, but that’s what it is.

Location: Broad St and Glidden St, Claremont

At the signal in the far background, the “roundabout” begins and southbound 12/eastbound 11/103 enter the circle. There is no option to turn left at that light, so no sign. There isn’t actually a way to follow 12 north using the official routings – you have to follow an unofficial truck bypass.
