The southern terminus of NH 28 is on the Massachusetts state line in Salem in south central New Hampshire; it keeps the Route 28 designation in the Massachusetts city of Methuen. The northern terminus is at the junction with New Hampshire Route 16, the White Mountain Road, in Ossipee, in northern New Hampshire.
Route 28 parallels Interstate 93 south of Manchester, going slightly northwest, but it goes northeast north of Manchester.
New Hampshire Route 28 Bypass
New Hampshire Route 28 Bypass is a 14.124-mile-long (22.730 km) bypass route of New Hampshire Route 28 east of the city of Manchester. The bypass separates from NH 28 in Derry, south of Manchester. While NH 28 runs through central Manchester, NH 28 Bypass runs along the eastern side of Manchester. The two routes rejoin in Hooksett, north of Manchester. The official local name of NH 28 Bypass is Londonderry Turnpike, but local residents generally refer to it simply as "The Bypass." It is the only New Hampshire state highway named and signed as a bypass.
