Sandy Creek Bridge is a
Built in 1921, the bridge carried Oregon Route 42 over the creek until bypassed by a newer bridge in 1949.[4] 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.[2] It is the only remaining covered bridge in Coos County.[4]
Special features of the bridge include large side openings and a truss made of two crossed Howe truss members on each chord.[4] The bridge is 60 feet (18 m) long.[4] It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
