Riptonites hit by Champlain Bridge closing

Ripton folks are impacted by the Lake Champlain bridge closing, according to WCAX.
[Theresa Jackson] lives in Ripton but works in Ticonderoga. She worries
her commute will get even longer if the ferry shuts down as planned this
weekend.

"If they shut down on Sunday, I have two hours to get here and two
hours back home," she said.


"That's four hours, so I'm lucky if I see my kids once a week. And then
Christmas, gas -- are you kidding me? That's expensive."

The Champlain Bridge (also known as the Crown Point Bridge) is a vehicular bridge in the United States that traverses Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York, and Chimney Point, Vermont.
