A chronological narrative of the planning, design, and construction of the bridge that crosses Lake Champlain from Crown Point, N. Y., to Chimney Point, Vt., is given in this paper. After an historical summary outlining the preliminary legislative steps necessary, the subjects of traffic counts, estimates, finances, and proposed toll rates are discussed. A comparison of various types of bridges studied for this crossing and the reasons for adopting the continuous truss type are presented, followed by a description of the finished bridge itself, surveying methods of field location, specifications, loadings, materials, concrete, etc. Construction problems encountered on the substructure and superstructure are treated under separate headings.
