Bridge Construction
In 1984, the concrete bridge over the Gihon river in the center of the Studio Center looked in need of serious repair. As the governmental wheels of the Vermont Agency of Transportation move slowly, it has taken until now to actually begin a new bridge.
We were all concerned about the impact the construction would have on Residents’ experience at VSC, and are pleased to find that, far from being a serious problem, the majority of Residents (and the staff) are finding the daily doings fascinating.

Here are some photos taken by VSC Bookkeeper Louise Cross that catch the bridge construction is all its various stages. Michele Jaquis, a June 2009 resident made the short movie below to document a day in the life of the process.
Kudos to George and Andrea Pearlman for winning the “Best Grandparents of the Year Award” for giving their grandson Cy lots of big yellow machines to play with (see the lower right picture)!
