SANDPOINT — Weight limits are increasingly being lifted from the county's roads, Bonner County Road & Bridge officials said Monday.
• District 1 (south of the Long Bridge) — All roads are lifted from weight restrictions with the exception of Jewell Lake and Schneiders roads.
• District 2 (Priest River/Priest Lake) — All roads are lifted from weight restrictions with the exception of Reeder Creek and Kalispell Creek roads.
• District 3 (Sandpoint/Clark Fork) — All roads are lifted from weight restrictions with the exception of:
Forest Siding, West Shingle Mill, Lower Pack River, Rapid Lighting, Upper Gold Creek, Baldy Mountain (Janish Drive to the end), Trestle Creek, Upper Pack River (from Caribou Creek Road to the end), and Dry Creek roads.
As a reminder, a red flag or no flag on the sign indicates weight limits are in effect.
Per county ordinance, it is the responsibility of the hauler to contact the Bonner County Road & Bridge Department to determine whether or not these restrictions are in place. The restrictions will remain in effect until changed, at which time updates will be posted.
