Getting from There to Here
By highway, rail, air or water, people and products get from Durham to virtually anywhere else (or the other way around) with ease.
Land
By land, Interstate 95 is the primary access to the town from the north and south. State Highway Routes 108, 101, 4 and 33 provide convenient access from adjoining areas.
Rail Freight
The Boston & Maine railroad provides rail freight service. The line runs through Durham, within the UNH campus, and passenger rail service on the Amtrak Downeaster lets you travel from Portland to Boston (yes, there's a stop right in Durham!).
Air Transportation
Air transportation offers a number of choices. Boston's Logan Airport, the regions largest, is 50 miles to the south, and provides both domestic and international passenger and freight service through a variety of carriers. Manchester Airport, 35 miles east, is smaller, sometimes more convenient, and has undergone a $65 million expansion. It also offers freight and passenger service. Less than 14 miles away, Pease International Tradeport promises additional air service in the future. Smaller airports in Rochester, NH (17 miles) and Portland, ME (60 miles) offer additional options.
Water Transportation
Transportation by water is also just 14 miles away at the Port Authority of New Hampshire in Portsmouth. Easily accessed by truck, highway and rail, it is the closest United States point to Europe and the only ice-free deep water port north of Boston. A major expansion of the port is currently underway.
Public Bus
Public bus transportation is available with destinations throughout neighboring Seacoast towns and the main campus of the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
