The Columbia Covered Bridge carries Columbia Bridge Road over the Connecticut River between Columbia, New Hampshire and Lemington, Vermont. Built in 1911-12 by Charles Babbitt, it is a single-span wood-and-iron Howe truss 146 feet long, and the third bridge on the site, replacing one destroyed by fire the previous year. Along with the nearby Mount Orne Bridge, it is one of only two Howe-truss covered bridges on the Connecticut River and among the last covered bridges built in the historic era in both states.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
