The ECS Bridge over Big Goose Creek is a bridge near Sheridan, Wyoming that was built in 1914. It is a Pratt pony truss bridge which was built by the Canton Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. The Canton Bridge Company built four steel bridges in Wyoming in 1914; the ECS Bridge is the only one of these surviving in its original location. It is 50 feet long and 15 feet wide.

It is one of 171 Wyoming bridges surveyed in a study that led to the nomination of 31 of them for NRHP listing. The ECS bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985.

Two other Canton Bridge Company bridges in Wyoming are also listed on the NRHP:

  • EDL Peloux Bridge, Cty. Rd. CN16-40, in or near Buffalo, Wyoming and
  • EDZ Irigary Bridge, Cty. Rd. CN16-254, in or near Sussex, Wyoming.
