Sandy Creek Bridge


Sandy Creek Bridge is a covered bridge spanning Sandy Creek near the community of Remote in southwestern Oregon in the United States. The bridge crosses the creek near its mouth on the Middle Fork Coquille River in Coos County.
Built in 1921, the bridge carried Oregon Route 42 over the creek until bypassed by a newer bridge in 1949. In 1984, after restoration by volunteers from the Lions Club of Myrtle Point, the structure became a display in a county park at the same site. It is the only remaining covered bridge in Coos County.
Special features of the bridge include large side openings and a truss made of two crossed Howe truss members on each chord. The bridge is long. It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
