Halls Mills Bridge is a wooden covered bridge over the Neversink River. It is in the town of Neversink, in Sullivan County, New York, on Hunter Road. Construction began in 1906 and was completed in 1912, built by David Benton and James Knight. It is a single span of town lattice truss design. The bridge was retired from vehicle use in 1963, but is still accessible to pedestrians only.
One of the dry stacked stone abutments was damaged heavily during Hurricanes Irene and Lee in August 2011. FEMA, Local and County resources are currently working to restore it to pre-storm condition.
It is one of 22 covered bridges in New York State.
