The DFU Elk Mountain Bridge is a Warren pony truss bridge located near Elk Mountain, Wyoming, which carries Carbon County Road 120-1 over the Medicine Bow River. The bridge was built in 1923 by contractor D.B. Miller. While the bridge's design is mainly a Warren truss, the top chord of the bridge is reminiscent of a Parker truss. At 102 feet (31 m) long, the bridge is the longest of its design in the Wyoming county highway system.^[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]
