Vanished Places: The Fahys Wood Bridge

March 5, 1998

Star Staff

The Fahys Wood Bridge, built in 1892, connecting Sag Harbor and North Haven, collapsed in the water in 1900 due to the ravages of terado (shipworm). A replacement bridge with a steel trestle and a swing center span was erected in 1900. It was torn down in 1934 and replaced with a steel-reinforced concrete span on concrete piles, which was again reinforced in 1975.
