The McConnell's Mill Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Slippery Rock Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States.[2]:2 It spans the Slippery Rock Creek in McConnells Mill State Park,[3] southeast of Rose Point,[2]:5 Built in 1874, the bridge is a Howe truss built on stone foundations and supported by steel girders.[2]:7

Unlike many Pennsylvania counties, Lawrence County never possessed many covered bridges; perhaps only five such bridges were ever built in the county. Today, only the McConnell's Mill Covered Bridge and the Banks Covered Bridge near Volant remain.[4]:2 The McConnell's Mill bridge is particularly significant for its usage of the Howe truss design; it is one of only four extant Howe truss bridges statewide.[2]:2

In 1980, the bridge was recognized for its historical significance by being placed on the National Register of Historic Places,[1] along with the Banks Bridge.[4]
