The Republican River Pegram Truss is a bridge located near Concordia, Kansas that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] It is a three-span through truss bridge over the Republican River on route 795, northeast of Concordia. The bridge was built in 1893 by the Edge Moor Bridge Works of Wilmington, Delaware.

This bridge, originally erected as a railroad bridge, consists of a Pegram truss span between two triple-intersection Warren (lattice) truss spans. It is one of only two Pegram truss bridges that currently exist in Kansas, and the only one anywhere to carry automobile traffic.
