Before the portion of the
Everett Turnpike that completed the I-293 loop was accepted into theInterstate Highway System , the east-west freeway between I-93 and the Turnpike was designated as Interstate 193 (I-193).cite web |url=http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/ix93.html#293nh |title=3-digit Interstates from I-93|author=kurumi.com|accessdate=2006-09-20]and very similar to the actual route of the Everett Turnpike. It also shows a spur which would have likely been designated I-193. This spur is further north than the I-193 that was eventually built, and was probably intended to link the proposed I-93 to downtown Manchester via the Queen City Bridge or a new river crossing in that area.
