The Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge is a covered bridge in Wolcott, Vermont built in 1908 that formerly carried the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River. In 1968, it was threatened with demolition in favor of a steel truss. A pier was built under the bridge, and four steel girders were built to support the bridge's load.[1]
