New Hampshire State Police warned motorists Monday afternoon of significant traffic delays on two major highways as solar tourists flock north to catch a glimpse of the total eclipse.
Is it safe to drive during solar eclipse?
Aerial video from the Special Enforcement Unit showed traffic backed up for miles on the northbound sides of Interstate 93 and Interstate 89.
State police said traffic delays are especially severe in the Hooksett and Concord areas.
New Hampshire, like Vermont and Maine, is on the path to totality, according to NASA. At 3:29 p.m., 96% of the sun will be covered by the moon in Concord, New Hampshire.
