The
Construction
On February 4, 1913,
The small community of Sussex, Wyoming, grew up around the bridge, and the Sussex Post Office and Store was built the following year in 1914. The Black and Yellow Trail was established in 1915, and it crossed the Powder River using the new bridge, until the trail was rerouted through Arvada, Wyoming to the north a few years later. The road at Sussex eventually became Wyoming Highway 192.[2]
In 1963, a new concrete bridge was built about 200 yards (183 m) upstream from the EDZ Irigary Bridge. The old steel bridge was moved by the Etlin Construction Company of Casper, Wyoming. The bridge now crosses the Powder River 18 miles (29 km) downstream from Sussex on Johnson County Road 172 (Irigary Road).[2]
