The CKW Bridge over Powder River is a Pratt deck truss bridge near Arvada, Wyoming, which carries U.S. Route 14 and U.S. Route 16 across the Powder River. The bridge was built from 1932 to 1933 by the W. B. Roscoe Company. The 452-foot (138 m) bridge has three continuous main spans and two shallow approach spans. It is the only continuous truss bridge still in use on a Wyoming road and one of only two deck truss bridges built on a major highway.[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 NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[2]
