The Orient Bridge, which spans the Kettle River between Ferry County, Washington and Stevens County, Washington, was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places

It brings Richardson Road across the river. It includes a 180 feet (55 m)-long pin-connected steel Parker truss span, and is 240 feet (73 m) long in total, including approach spans.[2]

Old bridge apparently replaced by new bridge in 1993.
