Old Champlain to start coming down in 2020
Demolition of the old Champlain will begin next year and take three years.
(I think deconstruction is a bit different.)
Update: TVA says 80% of the old bridge will be recycled.

Maybe they plan to first assess its historicity to determine its meaning-value as a philosophically appropriate approach toward its recontextualization as a former bridge. /s

Demolition implies just being destroyed randomly and then thrown away.
The people actually doing it use the term deconstruction and they contrast it as being more than just dismantling.
I I note the term has been used in this neologistic sense it’s regards to recycling buildings for several years

Most of you have probably seen this video, but I’ll post it anyway:

‘Deconstruction’ is definitely the ‘mot juste’ in this case.

Thanks, Max. That electronic loop music is very soothing.
