The Bennett Bridge is a historic covered bridge in rural northern Oxford County, Maine. The bridge, now closed to traffic, formerly carried Littlehale Road over the Magalloway River, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of the village Wilsons Mills in Lincoln Plantation. Built in 1901, it is one of Maine's few older covered bridges.[2] The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]

The sign on the bridge itself has a date of 1898. That date is also cited on the Lost Bridges site maintained by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges
