SANDPOINT — Slowly but surely, weight limits are being lifted from the county's roads, Bonner County Road & Bridge officials said Tuesday.
The latest roads to get the all-clear signal was Baldy Road, with the last remaining stretches of the road cleared of weight restrictions.
• 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, 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.
