Utica Covered Bridge, also known as the Utica Road Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden Burr truss bridge near Lewistown, Maryland, with an unusual history of survival and relocation. Originally built in 1834 to span the Monocacy River at the Devilbiss Bridge crossing, it was damaged by flooding in 1889. In 1891, the surviving half was moved to Fishing Creek, where a central pier was added to shorten the span, as at nearby Loys Station Covered Bridge. Its importance rests in both its age and its uncommon move from one crossing to another. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
