Ashland Covered Bridge, also known as Ashland Bridge or Barley Mill Road Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge over Red Clay Creek on Barley Mill Road (near the junction of Brackenville Road) in Ashland in New Castle County, Delaware.

It is a Town lattice truss bridge following a design of Ithiel Town.[2]

It was built about 1860. It is almost identical to the Wooddale Bridge.[1][3]
