The 85-year-old bridge over the Connecticut River carrying drivers between Lyme, N.H., and Thetford, Vt., on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2022, is expected to be closed for repairs for 18 months, from spring 2023 to fall 2024. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation rejected the possibility of adding a temporary bridge to the $11 million project because it would disturb a historic home or a major utility running under the river.

Deb Gaskin, of Dover, N.H., left, watches as Tennis Dison, 80, of Cedar Grove, Ind., opens a snack she shared with him after spending the afternoon sharing Appalachian Trail stories at a road crossing in Lyme, N.H., on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022. Gaskin's husband, Bill, was inspired to make his second AT hike, this time north to south, after receiving a diagnosis of early onset dementia, and she is providing snacks and company to other hikers from her vehicle. It is also Dison's second through-hike. "The first time I hiked, I was burned out," said Dison. "I took off and hiked the trail to get away from people. This time, same story, but I took off and hiked the trail to get to people - the nicest people in the world." (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
