description

Summary

This bridge was originally located in Casper, WY, moved to Porcupine Creek in Campbell County, WY, then moved again to its current location in the vicinity of Buffalo, Johnson County, WY. There are plans to move it into Buffalo.
Significance: This is the oldest datable vehicular truss bridge in use in the county road system in Wyoming. It displays an interesting variation of the classic Double Intersection Warren pony truss configuration using vertical posts at alternating panel points, making it one of the most significant truss bridges in Wyoming. It retains its essential character-defining features and is also an uncommon example nationally.
