The EBF Bridge over Powder River is a bridge located near Leiter, Wyoming, which carries Sheridan County Road CN3-269 over the Powder River. The 201.5-foot-long (61.4 m) bridge has two spans: the first span is a Pratt through truss, while the second span is a Warren truss. Due to this configuration, the bridge has been called "one of [Wyoming's] more interesting vehicular trusses." The trusses in the bridge are connected rigidly rather than by pins; the bridge was built in a transitional period between the two designs and is an early example of rigid connections. The Gregg & Stout Bridge Company of Sheridan built the bridge in 1915.[2]
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985.[1] It was one of several bridges added to the National Register for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[2]
