Lake Champlain Bridge, Crown Point, NY Demolition

[IEndureX]

Felt the shockwave all the way up in burlington on this day.

why did they blow it up with no replacement in place? we blew ours up in charleston after we made a new one lol

[decline2state]

I believe a replacement bridge is due to open in 2011. Right now, a seasonal ferry service is the only way across, although I understand they're trying to keep it going during the winter at least till mid-February.

I was the last surveyor there.

Glad to be part of it's history.

Question: How are they going to remove the piers? Another implosion?

[cj12steelers]

[xiala1980]

Um... ya think?

I have driven over that bridge so many times over the yrs. It makes me sad to see it go. I remember when they filmed "What lies beneath" around that bridge. So much history, down the tubes. When I'm in the area next year visiting relatives, on the NY side it won't be the same. :(

Damn! I Missed this to work at a dollar store! My life officially sucks now!

[snakesinmypants]

Too bad spend happy Gov Patterson wasn't there. He wouldn't have been able to see it anyway.

So, I pulled up a little spot next to a van figuring that in a rush I could duck and cover. Well, then things filled up and the van generator started up. Instant background noise with no place to go.
