Status check, 2026-11: Built in 1872 and wrecked by a flood in 1886, then rebuilt by Henry Steffin using half the original timbers. Sources give the rebuild as 1884, 1886 or 1887 and the length as 74.5, 76 or 86 ft, so both are left null. Sandy Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 38.2939° N, 90.5181° W.
