By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com ADDISON—An archaeological “rediscovery” has been announced at the Chimney Point site of the proposed Lake Champlain Bridge. It is uncertain if the announced rediscovery will affect plans for the new bridge to replace the 1920s span that was demolished in December 2009. Scientists have found a 1731 French fort near a standing pier of the old bridge on the Vermont shore at Chimney Point in Addison. "It's a hugely exciting find, one of the great and exciting finds of a lifetime really," Elsa Gilbertson, administrator for the Chimney Point State Historic Site, told news reporters March 14.
