Bridge Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering: Rebuilding the Lake Champlain Bridge | Solutions
Bridge Infrastructure and Transportation Engineering: Rebuilding the Lake Champlain Bridge | Solutions: "The Lake Champlain Bridge spanned the state line between Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont and has recently been demolished due to severe structural deterioration and unsafe conditions.
The closure of this important transportation artery, its demolition, and the construction of a new bridge will cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
Because of the high unplanned cost and concern for the safety of many bridges throughout the United States with similar design, the replacement of Lake Champlain Bridge is receiving national attention."
