The Dent Bridge is a suspension bridge in the northwest United States, located in north central Idaho in Clearwater County, north of Orofino.
[2][3] It is 17 miles (27 km) up the North Fork of the Clearwater River, now Dworshak Reservoir.
[6] It replaced a smaller bridge which crossed the river prior to the flooding by the reservoir.
[7] Without the bridge, vehicle access from Ahsahka to the small community of Elk River would be blocked off.
The exact location was based on the topography most suitable for road access as well as for the bridge construction itself.
