The Champlain Bridge also known as the Crown Point Bridge was a vehicular bridge in the United States that traversed Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York, and Chimney Point, Vermont. It was one of only two bridges that connected New York to Vermont by crossing Lake Champlain; all other transport across the lake between the two states is by ferry. The bridge connected NY 185 in New York to VT 17 in Vermont. The half-mile, two-lane, continuous truss bridge was jointly owned and maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
It was opened to traffic in 1929 as a toll bridge; the tolls were removed in 1987. The bridge was closed due to safety concerns in October 2009. Removal of the Champlain Bridge was accomplished by explosive demolition at 10:03 am on December 28, 2009
The bridge crossed Lake Champlain at a point 12 miles (19 km) north of Ticonderoga, New York, and 32 miles (51 km) south of Burlington, Vermont. It connected NY 185 in Crown Point, New York, to VT 17 in Chimney Point, Vermont. The bridge was one of only two that links New York and Vermont by crossing the lake; the other, located near the Canada – United States border, carries U.S. Route 2 from Rouses Point, New York, to Alburgh, Vermont.
