The EJZ Bridge over Shoshone River is a Warren pony truss bridge located near Lovell, Wyoming, which carries Big Horn County Road CN9-111 (Cowley-Lovell Road) across the Shoshone River. Contractors McGuire and Blakeslee built the bridge from 1925 to 1926 using a design by the Wyoming Highway Department. The 389-foot-6-inch (118.72 m) bridge has four spans, the second-most of any truss bridge in Wyoming.[2]

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985.[1] It was one of several bridges added to the National Register for their role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.[2]
