Picking up the pieces of a bridge

November 11, 2012, Blenhiem, NY - Volunteers have found nearly all the major pieces of the historic Blenheim Covered Bridge, which was destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene last year, but FEMA has turned down a proposal for funding to rebuild the span.

Last February, only a few pieces had been found downstream. Over the following months, volunteers searched for remnants of the 157-year-old bridge and have now found many of its structural parts and stored them in a barn.

Most of the bridge was found on the shores of the creek within six miles of where it was destroyed.
