Beaver Creek Bridge, also known as FM 2326 Bridge at Beaver Creek or WC2215-02-002, is a historic bridge built during 1925-1926 near Electra in Wichita County, Texas. It brings Farm-to-Market Road over Beaver Creek, connecting the Beaver Creek community with the Rock Crossing oilfield area in Wilbarger County.[2]

It consists of three 60-foot (18 m) riveted Warren pony truss spans and a concrete girder approach span, built to Texas Highway Department standard designs. Its spans were fabricated by, and the bridge was built by, the Austin Bridge Company of Dallas, Texas.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] The bridge was then eligible for rehabilitation but not yet replacement.[2]
