The DML Butler Bridge is a historic bridge over the North Platte River in Carbon County, Wyoming, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Description

The Camelback through truss bridge is located near Encampment and carries County Road 203. 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 road and, at 170 feet (52 m) long, is the longer of the two.

The bridge was added to the NRHP on February 22, 1985. It was one of several bridges added to the NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.
