What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Vermont Agency of Transportation is managing the replacement of the century-old Burlington-Winooski Bridge, which was constructed in 1928. As part of this project, VTrans is seeking a new owner for the structure. Because the replacement is partially funded by federal dollars, VTrans is required to make a good faith effort to find a buyer who wishes to preserve the bridge.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The agency is currently accepting offers from interested parties who can prove they have the resources to move and preserve the 349-foot structure. VTrans offers the bridge for free if a buyer can demonstrate the ability to relocate it, and the agency may provide funding if removal costs are less than demolition.
