[1] The Maple Street Covered Bridge is located on the south side of Fairfax village, carrying Maple Street across Mill Brook, a tributary of the nearby Lamoille River, between the village center and Bellows Free Academy.

The bridge is a single-span structure of Town lattice design, set on abutments of stone and concrete.

Iron tie rods join the tops of the flanking trusses to provide lateral stability, and the bridge deck is made of wooden planking.

When it was washed off its foundations by the Flood of 1927 it is unknown whether the bridge was put back on in the same direction as it was originally.
