More about Old Blenheim Bridge...

Old Blenheim Bridge was a wooden covered bridge that spanned Schoharie Creek in North Blenheim, New York, United States. With an open span of 210 feet (64 m), it had the longest span of any surviving single-span covered bridge in the world, although the structure's total length made it second in that respect to the Bridgeport Covered Bridge (233 feet (71 m) long with a 208 feet (63 m) clear span).[3] The bridge, opened in 1855, was also one of the oldest of its type in the United States. It was destroyed on August 28, 2011, as a result of flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.

  • I travel past the Blenheim bridge every year heading up to the Americade in Lake George by motorcycle. I have a picture of me standing in front of the bridge in 1986 on my 1947 Indian motorcycle, then on my 2015 Honda Goldwing in 2022. What a ride!
