The DUX Bessemer Bend Bridge is a Warren through truss bridge in Bessemer Bend, Wyoming, which carries Natrona County Road CN1-58 (Bessemer Bend Road) across the North Platte River. The bridge was built from 1921 to 1922. It is one of only three Warren through truss bridges remaining on Wyoming county highways. In addition, the bridge is located at the site of a historic river crossing on the Oregon Trail.
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 their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.
