The DFU Elk Mountain Bridge was a Warren pony truss bridge located near Elk Mountain, Wyoming, which carried Carbon County Road 120-1 over the Medicine Bow River. The bridge was built in 1823 by contractor D. B. Miller. While the bridge's design is mainly a Warren truss, the top chord of the bridge is reminiscent of a Parker truss. At 102 feet (31 m) long, the bridge is the longest of its design in the Wyoming county highway system.[2]
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 1995.[1] It was one of several bridges added to the NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[2] The bridge was replaced between 2017 and 2020.[3]
