This bridge was constructed in 1875. It is believed to be the oldest existing military bridge west of the Mississippi River. Once the then broad and turbulent North Platte River was spanned, the Cheyenne to Deadwood Route was considered the best road to the Black Hills gold fields. The bridge also influenced the establishment of the famous Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage and Express Line. The bridge remained in use until 1958.
