The 1904 Braley Covered Bridge, also called the Johnson Covered Bridge, Blaisdell Covered Bridge, and Upper Blaisdell Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the Second Branch of the White River in Randolph, Orange County, Vermont on Braley Covered Bridge Road. The bridge was built in 1904 as an uncovered kingpost truss bridge and was covered in 1909.

The Braley Covered Bridge is located in a rural area of eastern Randolph, on Braley Covered Bridge Road, a dead-end road that serves four homes running west from Vermont Route 14 to the Second Branch White River. It is a single-span multiple king post structure, 39 feet in length and resting on dry-laid stone abutments. It is 17 feet wide, with a 14-foot roadway width (one lane). The bridge has been strengthened by adding steel I-beams beneath the deck. The superstructure of the bridge is a post-and-beam structure clad in vertical board siding. The portals extend about 3 feet beyond the ends of the trusses.

The bridge was built in 1904 by an unknown designer. This bridge is one of only two covered bridges in Vermont (the other being the nearby Gifford Covered Bridge) in which the king post truss reaches only half the height of the bridge. The reason for this is that the bridge was most likely a wooden boxed pony truss bridge when built. The trusses would have likely been covered by planking to protect them, rather than being left open.

A date of 1909 was placed on one of the portals, likely an indication that the covering superstructure of the bridge was installed at that time, making it a covered bridge in the more familiar sense. The I-beam reinforcement of the bridge deck took place in 1977.
