The Historic Pulp Mill Bridge Open Again
Tuesday November 13, 2012 by Mike Cameron As dignitaries gathered at noon in Middlebury and Weybridge on a crystal clear Friday November 9, 2012, the iconic Pulp Mill Bridge was put back into service with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The bridge has undergone historic renovation and restoration for the past year. Above: LtoR Bill Patenaude Alpine Construction LLC, Jim Ligon Project Supervisor Alpine Construction LLC, Mark D. Sargent Structures Project Manager Vermont Agency of Transportation, Dean George Chairman Middlebury Selectboard, Peter James Chairman Weybridge Selectboard and John Weaver Structural Engineer Vermont Agency of Transportation. The bridge originally built in 1820 has a long and storied history connecting the villages of Weybridge and Middlebury. The bridge is a 195 foot long two span Double Barrel Burr Arch design and one of the most photographed in the state. The view from the shore of Otter Creek is spectacular.
