The DOE Bridge over Laramie River is a Pratt half-hip pony truss bridge located near Bosler, Wyoming, which carries Albany County Road CNA-740 across the Laramie River. The bridge was built in 1926 by contractor N.A. Swenson; it was originally part of the Lincoln Highway. In 1932, the bridge was replaced and moved to its current location. It is the only two-span Pratt half-hip truss bridge remaining in Wyoming.
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 its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.
