Wanette–Byars Bridge, Historical truss bridge in Pottawatomie County and McClain County, United States.
The Wanette-Byars Bridge stretches 780 feet across the Canadian River, connecting the towns of Byars and Wanette with a single traffic lane.
The American Bridge Company constructed this railway structure in 1902, which later transformed into a vehicular bridge serving local communities.
The bridge represents early twentieth-century engineering methods through its camelback truss design, which includes spans measuring 265 feet in length.
The concrete and asphalt driving surface, installed after 1994, provides the most direct route between Byars and Wanette, saving travelers up to 25 miles.
This structure holds the record for the longest bridge spans in Oklahoma and received National Register of Historic Places recognition in March 2010.
