The ELY Wind River Diversion Dam Bridge is a Warren pony truss bridge located near Morton, Wyoming, USA, which carries Fremont County Road CN10-24 across the Wind River. The bridge's structure is integrated with the Wind River Diversion Dam. It was the first truss bridge to be connected with a dam during its construction. The Taggart Construction Company built the bridge from 1924 to 1925. The bridge is 655 feet (200 m) long and has eight spans, making it both the longest road truss bridge in Wyoming and the road bridge with the most spans in the state.[2]
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985.[1] It was one of 31 bridges added to the National Register for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[2]
