Schoharie Bridge

Schoharie Bridge

The Schoharie Bridge is a circa 2003 steel tied arch crossing that carries NY Route 990V across Schoharie Creek in Gilboa, New York.


History

The first Schoharie Bridge, a one-lane truss, was constructed at Gilboa 1 as part of the erection of the Gilboa Dam and Spillway and the Schoharie Reservoir for New York City. 2

Construction of the new Schoharie Bridge began in March 2002 by D. A. Collins Construction, opened to traffic on August 21, 2003, and dedicated on September 5. 1 The $3.9 million bridge, replaced as part of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Upstate Bridge Reconstruction Program, was financed by the DEP as it crossed a portion of their reservoir.

The new crossing was built to be three feet higher than the previous bridge, which had its deck submerged in January 1996 during a major flood. 1 In addition to being physically wider, the new crossing was built as a single span with no pier to eliminate scouring and debris build-up that was experienced at the old bridge site.
