Construction of Interstate-93 through Franconia Notch State Park was a highly contested infrastructure project proposed to connect the North Country of New Hampshire to the lower portions of state for interstate motor travel. Significant opposition to the project came from conservationists who feared the construction of an interstate would endanger an already threatened and precariously positioned rock formation in the Notch, the profile of the Old Man of the Mountain.Collection
