- For the bridge at Twin Falls, Idaho, see Perrine Bridge
Perrine's Bridge is a 154-foot (47 m) span located in Esopus, New York, just a few hundred feet to the east of the Interstate 87 crossing of the Wallkill River in Ulster County, New York. The bridge is just southwest of Rifton, New York, just southeast of Rosendale, New York, and just north of New Paltz, New York. Built in 1844 in the burr-arch style, the one-lane approximately 20-foot (6 m) wide covered bridge (approximate 11' (3.3 m) clearance), is now closed to vehicular traffic. It was refurbished as a historical site in 1993.
