Lake Champlain Bridge (2011)
The Lake Champlain Bridge is a vehicular bridge traversing Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont. It replaced the Champlain Bridge. The bridge was designed and constructed during an aggressive two-year schedule to minimize the social and economic impact of the original bridge's demolition.〔Zoli, Theodore, P.E. "A Bridge by the People, for the People", ''Civil Engineering Magazine'', June 2012. The American Society of Civil Engineers.〕 It is the only fixed-link crossing of Lake Champlain/Champlain canal between US 4 in Whitehall, 42 miles to the south and US-2 at Rouses Point, 85 miles to the north
The iconic main arch span was prefabricated off-site in Port Henry, floated by barge to the already constructed approach spans, and then lifted into place on August 26, 2011.〔 The completed bridge was originally scheduled to open on October 9, 2011, but was delayed due to construction delays from underwater debris and record flooding.
The bridge opened to the public on Monday, November 7, 2011, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony.〔http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Lake-Champlain-Bridge-set-to-open-2251393.php〕
