EJP County Line Bridge
Rd. CN9-60, Hyattville, WYA joint venture between Big Horn and Washakie counties, the construction contract for this bridge was awarded in October 1917 to the Monarch Engineering Company. Big Horn County built the west abutment, Washakie the east, and the counties each paid half for the bridge superstructure. Thought to straddle the border between the two counties, later surveys have revealed that this bridge lies entirely within Big Horn County. It is one of the earliest of five 100' rigid-connected Camelback ponies in use on the county and state road systems in Wyoming - the longest of its type in the state. As a classic example of its truss configuration and the only known instance of such collaboration between counties, it is one of the more significant roadway trusses in Wyoming.
