The Sunset Lake Floating Bridge is a floating bridge that carries Vermont Route 65 across Sunset Lake in Brookfield, Vermont, United States.
History
The first bridge on this site was erected in 1820.[1] It was built this way because the lake is too deep for traditional pilings. According to the Watershed Management Division of Vermont, the lake's depth can reach 120 feet.[2]
The seventh bridge was closed to traffic and torn down in 2008 for replacement due to failure of its flotation system, which was based on foam-filled barrels.[1]
The current bridge, the eighth at this location,[3] is supported by fiber-reinforced polymer pontoons.[1]
