New Hampshire State Police are warning motorists of heavy traffic delays on two major highways on Monday afternoon as solar sightseers flock north to get a glimpse of the total eclipse.
Is it safe to drive during the solar eclipse?
Aerial video from the law enforcement agency’s special enforcement unit showed traffic backed up for miles on the northbound sides of Interstate 93 and Interstate 89.
State police said the traffic delays are especially bad in the areas of Hooksett and Concord.
New Hampshire, along with Vermont and Maine, is in the path of totality, according to NASA. At 3:29 p.m., 96 percent of the sun will be covered by the moon in Concord, New Hampshire.
