The 1875 Wright Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Somerset Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The bridge is also known as the Cerl Covered Bridge and Carl Covered Bridge. This short Kingpost truss covered bridge is 26 feet long and 13 feet 4 inches wide. Painted red with a tin roof, siding, and four rectangular windows, it has a 15-ton weight limit. Resting on stone and mortar, capped with concrete wingwalls, it crosses over the North Fork of Pigeon Creek.

Although the exact date of this bridge is unknown, it is estimated to be around 1875. Restored in 1998, the Wright or Cerl Bridge is one of the 23 covered bridges that can be found in Washington County.
