The DML Butler Bridge is a Camelback through truss bridge located near Grand Encampment, Wyoming, which carries Carbon County Road CN6-203 across the North Platte River. Contractor Chris O'Neil built the bridge in 1920 to replace a wooden bridge built in 1905. The bridge is one of two Camelback truss bridges remaining on a Wyoming county highway and, at 170 feet (52 m) long, is the longer of the two.[2]
