Simpson Creek is one of two remaining covered bridges in Harrison County.  The bridge was washed out in 1889 and was moved 1/2 mile to its present site.  In 1984, a tree fell across the roof.  Repairs have since been made.  This bridge is no longer used by traffic as a concrete bridge was built next to it.  It is in excellent condition.

Rehabilitation work completed in 2002
