You'll want to avoid the upper end of East Main Road in Portsmouth if possible today, as lane reductions are in place between Sprague St. and Park Ave for construction. According to a release from the Portsmouth Water and Fire District (PWFD) the work is on a water main in the right-hand southbound lane of East Main, but it will affect traffic in both directions from 7am to 8pm.

There were plenty of construction vehicles moving around the area when I went through this morning, so I can personally vouch for the PWFD's suggestion to seek alternate routes.
