The closing of this bridge has affected my town area A LOT. MANY people that live ‘close’ (within an hour) of that bridge use it for traveling to work, doctors visits, shopping, etc. For example, the local Ford dealer in Ticonderoga is closing down, due to a 40 percent drop in buisness since the bridge was closed down. Now, it takes someone from my town close to three hours to get to Burlington, when it used to take a little over an hour.
For reference, I like about ~18 minutes from the bridge and have been over it thousands of times. I’ll be watching old green go down for sure.
Oh, and if anyone wants me to head up a get together to go watch it go down, I’m game. The prime meeting point would be Rite-Aid parking lot off exit 28 (take a right off the exit, drive 18 miles into Ticonderoga, it’s on the left at the 4 way intersection).
99FRC is an hour and twenty minutes away, I’m less than twenty.
Just sayin’
