The Utica Road Covered Bridge is a Burr truss wooden covered bridge located near Lewistown, Maryland. Originally built in 1834, it spanned the Monocacy River at the Devilbiss Bridge crossing.

Like the nearby Loys Station Covered Bridge, a pier was inserted at the middle of the bridge to halve its span. [2]
The Utica Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [1]
