How much did Lake Champlain Bridge cost to build?
The Lake Champlain Bridge is the 2,200 ft (670 m) modified network tied arch bridge between Crown Point, New York, and Chimney Point, Vermont, which replaced the 1929 bridge closed in 2009 and demolished in December 2009, built by Flatiron Constructors with groundbreaking on 11 June 2010 and opened on 7 November 2011 with its main arch prefabricated at Port Henry and lifted into place on 26 August 2011. The press release of the governors of New York and Vermont and the America's Transportation Awards both give the cost of the new bridge as USD 76 million, while Wikipedia gives a contract of USD 69.6 million and a final cost of USD 78.29 million.
