Piscataqua River Bridge
Posted February 27, 2022, by Skip Downing (piks [dot] gninwod [at] gmail [dot] com)

Just for the record: Portsmouth is in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The northern terminus is in Kittery, York County, Maine.

Maybe that's what your info means, but it's a bit confusing.
