[edit] Route description
NH 10 begins at the Massachusetts state line in Winchester, New Hampshire. The road continues into Keene (where it has a short concurrency with NH 9). From Keene, NH 10 travels north via Newport until Grantham. It then runs along I-89 from Grantham to Lebanon. After exiting I-89 and running briefly on US 4, NH-10 then travels along the east bank of the Connecticut River from Lebanon up to its northern terminus at US 302 in Woodsville. Signage for Route 10 continues, however, all the way to Littleton; this portion of the road is co-signed with U.S. 302 until reaching Interstate 93 in Littleton.
In Hanover, NH Route 10 has what is essentially a short spur to Vermont, NH-10A.
