The EWZ Bridge over East Channel of Laramie River is a Pratt pony truss bridge located near Wheatland, Wyoming, which carries Platte County Road CN8-204 (Palmer Canyon Road) over the East Channel of the Laramie River. The bridge was built from 1913 to 1914 by the Pueblo Bridge Company. The single-span bridge is 71 feet 2 inches (21.69 m) long. The bridge's five-panel Pratt pony truss design with steel pin connections was used fairly frequently in Wyoming highway bridges, and the bridge is one of the older examples of the style.^[2]

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985.^[1] It was one of 31 bridges added to the National Register for their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.^[2]
