Abstract
Motivated to reconnect two communities devastated by the closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge, HNTB Corporation designed a replacement span within 10 weeks. The modified network tied-arch bridge, created for maximum constructability, features a center arch span that was built off-site, floated in, and lifted 75 ft into place. The new structure opened a little more than two years after the existing bridge had been closed, setting a precedent for accelerated bridge delivery.
