Yankee bridge to nowhere gets federal funds. Here in Florida, we can't get a bridge on the shortest route between Tampa and St. Petersburg. '43 Bridge for George W. Bush. Going nowhere.

It is a gorgeous area, with the Adirondack Mountains to the west and the Green Mountains to the east. I have been over the new bridge several times. If you get up to that area, go to Port Henry (New York, which is just a few miles from the bridge) where there is a spectacular view of the Green Mountains.

The great Calvin Coolidge.

The British plan was good. Burgoyne was hung out to dry as help from the south never came. Clinton decided to capture Philadelphia instead.

A bridge must be safe to use. Aging public infrastructure is tragic lossess waiting to occur. Much better off building bridges to move people around safely. Than walls to hide behind. The Gordie Howe bridge will transform Windsor and Detroit border for the benefit of all.

It was a scar on the landscape. A low elevation bridge is better for the aesthetics , no so ridiculous looking. They had a 2 chances and blew it twice. US bridges are broken at the design level...sorry.

I still live in Schenectady County. My grandmother on my mother side took us down from Huntington, Quebec to Essex Ferry Crossing and then down to Lake Champlain Bridge in the summer of 1972. Later I cross over from just for a road trip. I crossed over in mid 1990's for work when I had a van for going to east Quebec. I had join the New York Naval Militia in 1987. After return back from Kuwait as a brown navy person in early 2008. In summer and fall of 2008 had traveled by two different style boat 22' and 30' to perform boat border control to Rousse Point, New York from Waterford, New York or boat exercise training from White Hall, New York to Crown Point and Chimney Point. Then in the year Sept 2010 a call from New York and Vermont asked for assistance no wave for the new Lake Champlain Bridge. So three other sailors and I patrol around the construction of the new piers in the water until the piers were about the water level. If for history record. I would be happy to share about 8 picture of the new bridge being built.😀

NY22 to Whitehall to US4 over to VT22 is one of the most beautiful and relaxing drives on the Eastern USA,

I noticed the similarity between this bridge and the recently destroyed Key Bridge across Baltimore harbor. We visited the Crown Point area about five years ago. The new bridge is beautiful and the food at the Bridge Restaurant good.

I was at a similar operation at the Delaware Water Gap where there was an on going evaluation to build a dam on the Delaware River near that point. They uncovered many interesting artifacts and among those were Christian burial sites of an Native American Indian man and his wife that I witnessed. The female had a necklace made of what could have been deer bones . She also had a gold wedding ring that somehow when missing in the night. I don't know what the dates those sites were from, but now that I have seen this video, I am going to revisit that excavation and hopefully, learn more by information that is likely recorded and perhaps to be found online.

The toll to cross the bridge was ten cents around 1975 when I first starting crossing it. I was surprised to pay just ten cents.The toll bridges that I crossed to NYC was $1.25. If I remember correctly, that was the toll at the George Washington bridge.

How about, a story about a bridge ? 🌉

It’s truly a beautiful bridge! The American Bridge Company also built the New River Gorge Bridge in WV in 1977, another beauty. The people of WV love this bridge so much the have an annual Bridge Day the 3rd Saturday of every October.

The designers of the new bridge actually gave local residents a few designs and let them vote on it.

*promo sm*

great thank you

great info thank you

Thank you.

Was there any pieces from around Arrowhead Mountain? I know the farmer on the other side of Arrowhead from me had a huge artifact collection.

Fascinating! I love this video, thank you for putting it together and sharing it.

I can’t read anything on the screens or see the video itself, really bad video quality. Sucks because this is a great video and I really wanted to see what was going on

Great video

McFly. Ingredients please

I received the book Daniel Shays's Honorable Rebellion for Christmas. Seeing that the settlement is not that far from where I am in Hoosick Falls I was curious is the public able to access this site?

The new bridge is beautiful. If you can get up to see it (it is 115 miles north of Albany, and close to Middlebury on the Vermont side) and walk across it as I did last Summer, it is a treat. You can park on the New York side close to the bridge. But the use of iron ore tailings as aggregate in the concrete should have been a red flag from Day One. It seems that the iron is going to expand and contract at a different rate than the rest of the concrete, leading to degradation.

Growing up in VT I always thought that it was an ugly bridge. The replacement is nearly as ugly.

Too bad they have cancelled future I-98 which connect from I-81 in the upstate of New York to I-89 in Swanton Vermont, close to the Canadian border. Ditto with future I-92 was supposed to connect from I-87 in Glens Falls New York to Portsmouth New Hampshire. Many travelers will have to take the Mass Pike (I-90) in Massachusetts as if the nearest east-west interstate highway, and it does waste gas and driving time by several hours off.

Please make the complete alphabet I only see four in the series.

The original was beautiful. The replacement is graceful. Two wonderful designs that all can appreciate.

Isn’t Bare Ass Beach near there?

How much of Lake Champlain is in Canada?

A grand old bridge has been replaced by perfection. It's the most beautiful bridge in the world.

The old bridge was almost identical to the Auckland harbour bridge here in New Zealand also a truss bridge and still in existence

This was actually really great! I hope more people get to see this!

thank you for this! I enjoyed it much!

Nicely Done

Been over the bridge many times. Thanks for the back story.

So how hot does it get in Vermont and how long does your summer last?

Music, unrelated to the era in question, should not dominate a video.

Thanks for uploading, looking forward to 'G', ...for Geometry?

Applause from us too. Excellent presentation geared to a wide audience.

Quite the menagerie!

Yeah, love the Belvedere, Devin. Thank you.
