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.[2] It is 50 feet long and 15 feet wide.[2]: 7 

It is one of 171 Wyoming bridges surveyed in a study that led to the nomination of 31 of them for NRHP listing.[2] The ECS bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985.[1]

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