Can anyone tell me when thr current Sandy Bridge was built?

Hi Darlene, A placard placed in 1952 lists the bridge erected in 1872. You can find some information on it in Historic Sites of Jefferson County, Mo. (1968), p. 123-125 with photos. You can find this at the local libraries or purchase from The County Circuit Court office for about $9. "In 1872 a white pine Howe Trust bridge, 76 feet long, was built over Sandy Creek." A search of the newspapers during that time should help you with some construction info. Good Luck with your researching!

Darlene, >From Historic Site of Jefferson County; "In 1872 a white pine Howe Truss Bridge, 76 feet long, was built over Sandy Creek. It was built on "old Lemay Ferry Road" by John Morse. Much of the original material was replaced when the bridge was rebuilt in 1887. In 1940 flooding damaged the timber piers and were replace with concrete ones."
