The Neet Covered Bridge, also known as the Joe Neet Bridge or the Dietrich Bridge is a Burr Arch single-span structure built by Joseph J. Daniels in 1904 over Little Raccoon Creek southwest of Rockville, Parke County, Indiana.

This was the last bridge contracted by Joseph J. Daniels, who was 78 at the time, though he may have been the builder of the Roseville-Coxville Covered Bridge built 6 years later that had been contracted by J.P. Van Fossen. He would have been 84 years old by this time.

The 1908 Atlas of Parke County doesn't show any property near the bridge being owned by anyone in the Neet family while Enoch Shrigley referred to it as the Joe Neet Bridge. Joseph W. Neet was born in 1862 and owned 176 acres in section 33, the bridge is on the west side of section 33. George M. Neet, born in 1869, rented 20 acres north of the bridge. Robert E. Detrich later owned property at the bridge through 1959 and by 1990 owned 40 acres further from the bridge which is listed as Detrich Tree Farm.

The Central Indiana Railroad route through Bridgeton to a junction east of Rockville passed the Neet Bridge. The elevated railroad bed crossed the Bridgeton Road just north of the bridge. The railroad bridge across Little Raccoon Creek was just upstream from the Neet Bridge and was visible from it in Fall and Winter. Stencils and a note card on the bridge state that the bridge was repainted on March 25, 1989, by Rockville Boy Scout Troop 469. The note says four gallons of paint were required and the painters included Ted Gahimer, Bruce Girdler, Matt Garrett, and Shawn Taylor. As of 2010 the bridge and area around it were being maintained by neighbors Bob Lowdermilk and John Tilton.
