Sparkill Creek Drawbridge
Sparkill Creek Drawbridge, Historic drawbridge in Piermont, New York.
The Sparkill Creek Drawbridge features a single-leaf Pratt Pony Truss design with metal construction and counterweight mechanisms for vertical movement over the waterway.
The King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland constructed this movable bridge in 1880, establishing a crucial crossing point over the Sparkill Creek tributary of Hudson River.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this engineering structure in 1985 for its representation of 19th-century American transportation infrastructure.
Following a complete restoration in 2009 costing $900,000, the structure now functions exclusively as a pedestrian crossing managed by Rockland County Highway Department.
The bridge maintains its original chain-operated lifting mechanism, which operates through a manual crank system supported by counterweights for vertical movement.
