I am writing in response to your article on the Dover Bridge. While I hadn't realized that the Dover Bridge was in such bad condition, it did remind me of our bridge here in Clark Fork. It is barely wide enough for two cars and also has been hit by tractor-trailers. The bridge is our only way directly to Sandpoint.
If Clark Fork's bridge falls, we would be forced to reroute by way of Montana to Bonners Ferry, the dirt road over mountains to Athol (impossible this time of year) or the washed out Trestle Creek Bridge. When will someone help us?
