====Roads==== The [[Everett Turnpike]] is the major highway running through the city. [[U.S. Route 3#New Hampshire|U.S. Route 3]] follows the turnpike from the Massachusetts border north to Exit 7E, where it branches to the northeast along the two-lane Henri A. Burque Highway to Concord Street and then heads north into the town of Merrimack. Other New Hampshire state highways in the city include: * [[New Hampshire Route 101A|NH 101A]], which enters the city from the northwest and follows Amherst Street to its terminus at Main Street. * [[New Hampshire Route 111|NH 111]], which enters the city from the southwest and follows Hollis Street to the city's eastern border at the [[Merrimack River]], crossing into [[Hudson, New Hampshire|Hudson]] on the twin-span Taylor Falls/Veterans Memorial bridges. * [[New Hampshire Route 111#New Hampshire Route 111A|NH 111A]], which enters the city from the southwest and follows Groton Road to Main Dunstable Road to its terminus at Hollis Street. * [[New Hampshire Route 130|NH 130]], which enters the city from the west and follows Broad Street to its terminus at Amherst Street. Maps of the Nashua area often show a stretch of freeway forming a circumferential highway through Nashua and the neighboring town of [[Hudson, New Hampshire|Hudson]]. Only a small section of the south end of this highway (Exit 2 off [[U.S. Route 3]]) has been built, and it is unclear whether the highway will ever be completed. If finished, the [[Circumferential Highway (Nashua)|Nashua-Hudson Circumferential Highway]] would be part of the Everett Turnpike, and would rejoin the mainline highway at a hypothetical Exit 9 in northern Nashua. In 2015, after four years of construction, the city completed the Broad Street Parkway,<ref>{{cite web|title=Broad Street Parkway|url=https://www.swcole.com/broad-street-parkway/ |website=S.W.COLE |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211025074925/https://www.swcole.com/broad-street-parkway/ |archive-date= Oct 25, 2021 }}</ref> which connects Exit 6 of the Everett Turnpike to the city's downtown area ("Tree Streets" neighborhood), with the goal of easing traffic congestion and opening up Nashua's old mill-yard as part of the city's economic development.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://nhpr.org/post/long-awaited-broad-street-parkway-opens-nashua| title=Long-awaited Broad Street Parkway Opens in Nashua| last=Rich-Kern| first=Sheryl| publisher=[[New Hampshire Public Radio]] |date=December 19, 2015| access-date=March 3, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160304080919/http://nhpr.org/post/long-awaited-broad-street-parkway-opens-nashua |archive-date= Mar 4, 2016 }}</ref> The new parkway provides a third crossing of the [[Nashua River]] and a way for traffic to avoid Library Hill, a busy downtown intersection. The idea of a road connecting Broad Street with Hollis Street within the city had been discussed since the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nashuarpc.org/publications/transportation/tip/2011_2014_TIP%20Adopted_102010.pdf |title=Nashua Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program 2011-2014 |publisher=Nashua Regional Planning Commission |access-date=2011-05-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929182453/http://www.nashuarpc.org/publications/transportation/tip/2011_2014_TIP%20Adopted_102010.pdf |archive-date=2011-09-29 }}</ref> Public transportation is provided by the [[Nashua Transit System]], which has nine scheduled bus routes in the city. [[Boston Express]], a subsidiary of [[Concord Coach Lines]], operates a Nashua-Boston bus line that runs out of the Nashua Transit Center off Exit 8 on the Everett Turnpike. This line transports passengers to [[South Station]] and [[Logan International Airport]] in Boston.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070225/NEWS01/70225001/-1/news01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829094957/http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20070225%2FNEWS01%2F70225001%2F-1%2Fnews01|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 August 2007|title= Smooth sailing for bus to Boston |website=Nashuatelegraph.com |first1=Patrick |last1=Meighan |date=29 August 2007|access-date=12 February 2018}}</ref>
