Schoharie Creek Bridge Disaster
The Schoharie Creek Bridge was a New York State Thruway bridge over the Schoharie Creek near Fort Hunter and the Mohawk River in New York State. On April 5, 1987 it collapsed due to bridge scour at the foundations after a record rainfall. The collapse killed ten people.
The failure of the Schoharie Creek Bridge motivated improvement in bridge design and inspection procedures within New York and beyond.
