WCAX TV in Burlington, Vt., reports that Flatiron Construction of Lafayette is the apparent low bidder to build the new Crown Point bridge across an arm of Lake Champlain to connect New York and Vermont.

The old bridge was brought down by controlled demolition in December after inspectors closed it due to its condition becoming unsafe.

Flatiron’s bid was around $69 million. There were nine bidders on the project, none from Vermont. Vermont Department of Transportation officials stressed this was an apparent low bidder but Flatiron will not be awarded the contract until the bid is fully vetted.
