Champlain Bridge

USA / New York / Port Henry /

Crosses Lake Champlain, connects Vermont and New York

In 2009, an inspection performed on the bridge as part of the planning process revealed that two of the bridge's support piers were not structurally sound. As a result, the bridge was closed to all traffic on October 16, 2009. The bridge was completely demolished on Monday, December 28, 2009 at 10:03 am. Construction of a replacement bridge commenced shortly thereafter and the center span of the new bridge was put in place in August 2011.
