In 1889  the disastrous Johnstown Flood washed away a 250', two span covered bridge over the Monocacy River on Devilbiss Road in Frederick County. One span was saved, dismantled and two years later reconstructed as a 101' covered bridge on Utica Road, just off Frederick Road in Utica,m Maryland over Fishing Creek. The original bridge is usually referred to as Devilbiss Road Covered Bridge. After being rebuilt and moved to the new location, the bridge was renamed Utica Mills Covered Bridge. In 1934 the flooring was reinforced with steel beams and a center pier was added for additional support. Bridge since then  has been rehabilitated in 1970, 1996, and later in 2015. Bridge was posted to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1978. Open to through traffic. Truss Type - Covered Single Span Burr Arch Through Truss..
