Lake Champlain Bridge: 1929 - 2009

 

The 1929 Lake Champlain Bridge was both an engineering marvel and a cultural landmark, spanning the lake between Chimney Point, Vermont and Crown Point, New York. Eighty years after opening, it was demolished on December 28, 2009. This website tells the story of this beautiful and remarkable bridge, the people it served and its legacy for bridge building in the United States.
