Built in 1921, the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge a Howe truss covered bridge in Coos County, Oregon. It is also known as the Remote Covered Bridge after the nearby community, Remote. It used to carry traffic in connection to the Oregon Highway 42 from its completion until 1949 when it was bypassed.

Only measuring 60 feet long, the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge is also unique for having, on each chord, two crossed Howe truss members. This is not common with short bridges, so it makes the structure quite notable for its design.

The Sandy Creek Covered Bridge is currently a part of a park that that Myrtle Point Lions Club initiated in the early 1980s. The covered bridge is used as an information center.
