New Hampshire Route 101B was a designation once held by two separate state highways in New Hampshire. Although the two segments did not directly connect, they were linked at the time by their parent route, New Hampshire Route 101.

Route description

Western segment

The western segment of NH 101B was a roughly 8.5 mile long east-west road in the Manchester area. The western terminus of the route was at U.S. Route 3 and New Hampshire Route 28 in Hooksett, the current western terminus of New Hampshire Route 27. The eastern terminus was at NH 101 near Candia.

All of the western segment of NH 101B was renumbered NH 27 at an unknown time. [http://www.roadgeek.org/nhroads/nh_101-125.html New Hampshire Routes 101-125] ]

Eastern segment

The eastern segment of NH 101B was a short east-west road in downtown Portsmouth. The western terminus was at the intersection of Islington Street and Middle Avenue, where NH 101, which followed the present alignment of New Hampshire Route 33 into Portsmouth, departed the routing of NH 33 and followed Islington Street to U.S. Route 1. NH 101B continued east on Middle Avenue, following the modern alignment of NH 33 to the present eastern terminus of NH 33 at US 1. At US 1, NH 101B continued east onto South Street, running along the local street to its eastern terminus at New Hampshire Route 1B.

NH 101B from Islington Street east to US 1 became NH 33 while the portion east of US 1 reverted to city maintenance.
