Red Cedar Students Bid Farewell to the Champlain Bridge

Last week each of the groups went to Middlebury to see the new bridge under construction, and out to Crown Point to say good-bye to the historic Champlain Bridge (or as it's known locally - The Crown Point Bridge). Along the way we also took note of every bridge we saw or crossed. It was a bridge kind of day.

Crossing the pedestrian bridge over the Otter Creek in Middlebury, below the falls.

We stopped at Frog Hollow to draw the old stone bridge above the falls.

At the construction site for the new bridge. A set of the huge girders had been delivered and put in place a few days before.

Heading back through town, Zave leads the pack, about to cross over the stone bridge.

Snack at the Marble Works, by the falls.

Out at Crown Point, at the renamed (as seen on the sign) 'No Bridge Restaurant.'

The middle school group by the Crown Point bridge. The bridge opened in 1929. The bridge will probably be demolished before the lake freezes this winter.

Bo helps to keep the bridge up for now.

Good-bye beautiful Crown Point Bridge.

 

Thanks, Everybody, For a Great Party!
