Old Blenheim Bridge, Covered bridge in North Blenheim, New York.
The wooden bridge spans 210 feet across Schoharie Creek with a distinct double-barreled design featuring two separated traffic lanes for vehicles.
Nicholas Montgomery Powers constructed the bridge in 1855 using 94,000 board feet of lumber, 3,600 pounds of bolts, and 1,500 pounds of washers.
The bridge received recognition as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1983, marking its contribution to American transportation infrastructure.
After destruction by flooding in 2011, a new bridge was constructed 15 feet higher in 2018 with preserved pieces of the original structure.
The bridge incorporated three trusses in its design: one large truss enclosing the center arch and two side trusses positioned 27 feet apart.
