With an open span of , 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 ( long with a clear span). 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.
==History==
Nichols Montgomery Powers〔〔 was brought in from Vermont to build the bridge by a group of local business men who formed the Blenheim Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing this bridge. The bridge opened in 1855, and remained in use for vehicles until 1932, when a steel truss bridge was constructed near-by. Since then, the bridge was maintained as a historic site open to pedestrians.〔 It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.〔〔 and 〕
On August 28, 2011, record flooding along the Schoharie Creek, due to Tropical Storm Irene, resulted in the bridge being washed away and completely destroyed.
