Lincoln Highway Bridge, also known as Government Creek Bridge, is located in the Great Salt Lake Desert on the United States Army's Dugway Proving Ground in southern Tooele County, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1] It once served an original proposed alignment of the Lincoln Highway, an historic transcontinental auto route.
When the bridge was surveyed for consideration for the NRHP, it was described as being constructed of "hewn logs and log supports." The survey notes abutments originally constructed of stone which were later reinforced by concrete as part of a Civilian Conservation Corps retrofit in the 1930s. The bridge measures 14.5 by 11.5 feet (4.4 m × 3.5 m) and was noted to be "in fairly good condition" upon completion of the survey in 1974.[2]
