    The 1892 Felton’s Mill Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located in East Providence Township in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. It is a 105-foot-long (32 m), Burr Truss bridge with a medium-pitched gable roof crossing Brush Creek. This bridge was built to replace an 1889 bridge that was destroyed in the 1889 flood. It is one of 15 historic covered bridges in Bedford County.

     

    Sitting next to the old Felton Mill on private property, this 12.5-foot-wide bridge built by W.S. Mullins is in very poor condition. The sideboards on one side are gone, leaving it completely exposed to the elements. This bridge is in complete contrast to the other well-maintained historic covered bridges in the county.

     

    Although it appears to be on private land, the gate looked as if it were usually open, and the bridge is close to the gate. Unfortunately, heavy vegetation is swallowing up the bridge; it is in urgent need of rehabilitation. Some of the heavy timber was visibly rotting away. Although it is still safe to walk across in 2025, it is just a matter of time before the bridge will most likely fall into the river below unless it receives some outside help.

     

    Felton's Mill Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
