The new Lake Champlain Bridge that connects Addison, Vt., to Crown Point, N.Y., is scheduled to open on Monday, Nov. 7, following a 2:30 p.m. ceremony that will be hosted by both Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy.
The bridge opening will take place a little more than two years following the emergency closure of the original, historic structure, which was closed for safety reasons on Oct. 16, 2009, and demolished less than six months later on Dec. 28, 2009.
