Hurricane Damage to Halls Mills Covered Bridge

fish

The Halls Mills Covered Bridge was built in 1912, and sustained heavy damage during Hurricanes Irene and Lee. It is a publicly owned structure, located off Hunter Rd Spur, #39A. While FEMA may grant funding to repair the damaged abutment, it is assured that the County will not have the time or manpower to shore up the bridge before winter.

The Covered Bridge Society of New York is holding an informational and brainstorming meeting to determine what can be done in order to ensure that it is still standing in the spring for more major repairs. Please join us on Saturday, October 22nd at 2 pm at the Claryville Firehouse. There is concern that the snow load or spring snowmelt will continue to erode and weaken the abutment, resulting in complete loss of the bridge.

Update January 24, 2012 - - - FEMA is Here... Last Thursday, January 19, 2012 FEMA and many other disaster-related entities held a site meeting at the Bridge, and came to the conclusion that it was definitely a project within their scope of work. All of the other agencies in attendance, DEC, DEP, SHPO, DOT, the County and the Town were all very much in favor of taking on the bridge restoration as soon as possible, in order to prevent it from falling into the river. This is fantastic news, as it involves their help with funding, a chief concern for a project this size. There is another meeting scheduled for next week, to iron out some details and come up with a preliminary plan. We will keep you posted!
