New Bridges for Lamoille Valley Rail Trail
A portion of a bridge connecting parts of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is lifted by a J.P. Sicard crane, in preparation to setting it on abutments. The bridge, a project of VTrans, will connect Hardwick, East Hardwick, Greensboro Bend and Walden and points west on the rail trail to St. Johnsbury.
A J.P. Sicard crane maneuvers a bridge to connect the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail over Route 15, near Walden Station. Route 15 was closed on Thursday as travelers were detoured through Cabot or Walden to connect with Route 2.
Bridge sections are hoisted by a crane to be assembled into a bridge to cross Vermont Route 15 at Walden Station, connecting a part of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, on Thursday. The road was closed to traffic.
Workers stand on abutments on Vermont Route 15 near Walden Station, and prepare to receive bridge parts hoisted by crane. The bridge connects portions of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail as it nears completion in the fall. The 93-mile trail will be the longest in the state, according to VTrans.
