Utica Covered Bridge, Historical covered bridge in Lewistown, Maryland
The Utica Covered Bridge features a wooden Burr truss design that combines arch and truss frameworks to create a strong structural support system.
Constructed in 1834, the bridge originally crossed the Monocacy River until an 1889 flood prompted its relocation to Fishing Creek in 1891.
The bridge represents a time when covered wooden structures were common along Maryland highways, including U.S. 40, Jefferson Pike, and Buckeystown Pike.
Visitors can access the bridge via Utica Road, with coordinates 39°31′28″N 77°23′46″W, and parking spaces are available near the structure.
After the 1889 flood damage, workers transported the surviving section by wagon to its current location and added a central pier for additional support.
