I believe it's special. The last time I needed one I ordered the closest stock size... no joy. 
I ended up buying one via mail order from these people:

There is a Bridgeport section
The belt is a special. Be prepared, they run about $125 from BP. Part number 11182120.

I should have added that I am looking for the drive belt not the timing belt

The part I directed you to IS the drive belt. 
They look like a toothed belt, but aren't, the grooves allow them to bend around a smaller pulley, while the extra thickness between the grooves provides more grip on the pulleys. Here is a link to a re-build kit that shows both belts and their part numbers:
