Dent Bridge, Suspension bridge in Clearwater County, Idaho, US

Dent Bridge is a two-lane suspension bridge over the North Fork of the Clearwater River, now Dworshak Reservoir, 17 miles (27 km) north of Orofino in Clearwater County, Idaho. Completed in 1971 at a cost of $7,848,950, it has a main span of 1,050 feet (320 m) and an overall length of 1,550 feet (472 m).

The original crossing at this location was submerged when the Dworshak Reservoir was created, forcing the construction of a new bridge in the 1970s. This project brought modern infrastructure to a remote region that had been divided by the creation of the dam.

The bridge is named after Charles and Katherine Dent, who owned land on the western side of the crossing in 1895. The settlement of Dent stood there until it was razed ahead of the reservoir's flooding.

The bridge provides drivers with a direct route across the water, saving them from long detours around the reservoir. For visitors exploring the area, it serves as a key passage through this rural landscape in northern Idaho.

The bridge's 1,050-foot main span and 1,550-foot total length were built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at a cost of $7,848,950, completed in 1971. Engineers chose the site because the topography suited both road access and bridge construction, after rejecting a 53-mile road around the future reservoir as too costly across rocky terrain.
