Recent history

The Vermont Agency of Transportation in 1993 reported that the bridge was over-stressed and it was closed. The one farm that the bridge served was provided with a temporary bridge. The Hopkins bridge was completely renovated by Renauld Bros. or Vernon, Vermont and reopened in 1999.[2]
