Смотрите также: Champlain Bridge The Champlain Bridge (also known as the Crown Point Bridge) crosses Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont. Constructed in 1929, it is one of the only bridges across Lake Champlain, as transport across the lake is mainly by ferry. The bridge connects Bridge Road (NY 185) in New York to VT 17 in Vermont.
Champlain Bridge Carries Two lanes of Bridge Road (NY 185) and VT 17 Crosses Lake Champlain Locale Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont Design Combination of through truss, deck truss, and deck plate girders Total length 14 spans totaling 2,184 feet Width 26.1 feet AADT 3,400 Opening date 1929 The half-mile, two-lane bridge is owned by New York and Vermont. Its historic design has significance because it was built with half-a-through truss and half-a-deck truss, one of the few bridges in the nation with such a design. A truss is a type of bridge structure that uses structural components arranged in a series of triangles. Trusses have great load carrying capacity for their weight and allow the use of longer bridge spans. The bridge was last rehabilitated in 1991. Construction work included painting steel and bearing exteriors, repairing pier surfaces, and replacing the bridge deck, joints and railings. Comments: 0 |
