Resurrect The Hectorville Bridge

Please help resurrecting The Hectorville Covered Bridge.  Montgomery Vermont is the covered bridge town of Vermont. We have five bridges standing and one in storage, the Hectorville Covered Bridge. The bridge is currently in storage waiting for its fourth (and permanent) home. In 2005 it was removed from it's last home on the Gibou Road and placed in storage. It was removed from this site because it was not wide enough to support snow removal vehicles and other town machinery. A new committee, in cooperation with the town, applied for a feasibility study grant from the Vermont Dept. of Transportation to see if the stored bridge can rise again, for a fourth time in its long history, On January 27, 2015 we found out we were awarded a matching grant of $11,000 . The feasibility study will tell us if the project is doable, how much it will cost, the design and reconstruction challenges; and visually, it will show us how the bridge will look and function on the site.  At such a prominent location, along Route 118,  within  the Montgomery Recreation Park, the bridge will do a number of things: reassert that we are THE covered bridge town, act as a kiosk for maps and information about all our covered bridges, provide information for other events going on in the area, and be a central link in the bike/pedestrian path between the Montgomery Elementary School and Montgomery Center. We are now starting a capital fund raising campaign to ressurect the Hectorville Covered Bridge. Please help support the resurection! Please follow us on Facebook .
