The BMU Bridge over Wind River is a Parker through truss bridge located near Ethete, Wyoming, that carries Wyoming Highway 132 across the Wind River. The bridge was built circa 1935 as one of seven Parker truss bridges commissioned by the Wyoming Highway Department. It was moved to its current location in 1953 - 54. At long, the bridge is the longest single-span truss bridge still used in Wyoming.[1]
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985. It was one of several bridges added to the NRHP for their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[1]
