Still carrying the traffic of Greenbrier County 40 across Milligan Creek near Lewisburg, this 10.5-foot-wide, 53.75-foot-long queen post truss bridge was built in 1884, by order of the county court, at a cost of $800.

A $543,932 restoration of the Herns Mill Covered Bridge, completed in 2000 by Grandview Construction, Inc. of Beckley, included the installation of steel beams to support the timber roadway in addition to the replacement of timber roof trusses, the metal roof, and wooden exterior siding.
