Sarvis Fork - 1889
The 1889 Sarvis Fork Covered Bridge, also known as Sandyville Covered Bridge. This historic covered bridge, located in Jackson County, West Virginia, was built for $2,860 by R.B. Cunningham and G.W. Staats in 1890, originally spanning John Carnahan's Fork, a branch of Mill Creek. When US Route 33 was built using an iron bridge, the Long truss covered bridge was first abandoned, then moved and rebuilt over the Left Fork of Sandy Creek in 1924 for $1,050.
The bridge was completely rebuilt in 2000 at a cost of $598,233 by R.C. Construction Company & Sons, Inc. of Cutler, Ohio.
It measures 101 feet 3 1/2 inches in length and 11 feet 8 inches wide.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
