Weather delayed implosion finally takes place.
After 80 years of extreme temperatures and weather, the bridge that connected northern New York State to Vermont across Lake Champlain had it’s concrete piers erode beyond repair. The bridge was closed on October 16th, when engineers determined that the bridge was no longer safe. So under the cover of snow, a small crowd watched the 665 metre (2,184 foot) span explode and collapse.
