The 1885 Siegrist's Mill Covered Bridge in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Siegrist's Mill Covered Bridge is an 88-foot, Burr Arch Truss covered bridge over Chiques Creek between Rapho and West Hempfield townships, Lancaster County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Owned and maintained by the county, its official designation is the Big Chiques #6 Bridge. The bridge was built in 1885 by James C. Carpenter. It was named after the Siegrist family, who lived nearby.

The bridge survived Hurricane Agnes in 1972 with only minor damage. However, the bridge was ripped from its foundations and swept downstream on September 8, 2011, by flooding caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. The bridge's siding, roof, and some structural members will need to be replaced. The repairs were expected to cost $750,000, and the bridge was planned to be reopened in November 2012, but was eventually reopened in August 2013.

The bridge has a single-span, wooden, double Burr arch truss design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County Covered Bridges, on both the inside and outside. Both approaches to the bridge are painted in the traditional white color.
