THE BRIDGES
The Truss Bridges

The Truss Bridges, Warren Bridge, Wyoming Go Down Go Up
Information:
The Warren Bridge in Wyoming on a previous alignment of US 191 across the Green River is a Truss bridge, but not necessarily a warren truss bridge. Instead, the type of bridge it is is a Parker truss, also know as a camelback bridge. Currently, the bridge is open only to pedestrians.
Too, this bridge has the same name as the campground just across the highway and new bridge over the Green River, which is called the Warren Bridge Campground.
Driving Directions:
The bridge is located on a previous alignment of US 191 where the highway crosses the Green River which is about twenty miles north on US 191 from Pinedale, Wyoming.

The 2021 Journey, Warren Bridge Go Down Go Up
Tuesday, 06 July 2021, Rock Springs, WY.
(Day 050 TN) 59°F. 7:00 am, sunny
Overnighting in a parking lot
It is not until about ten this morning when I arrive at the highway and begin a very familiar route through northwest Wyoming. My first stop is at the Warren Bridge over the Green River where I stop and take photos of the two osprey in the nest atop the bridge. Then, I pull into the Warren Bridge campground to prepare my lunch, take a few more photos and finally continue north on US 191. The highway then climbs up into Bridger-Teton National Forest over the summit near the Rim Station, which I normally stop at but do not do so today. Continuing north, US 191 follows the Hoback river downstream all the way to the Snake river at Hoback Junction.
