BOCC approves bridge repair funding assistance
SANDPOINT — Bonner County commissioners voted Tuesday to accept state assistance to repair four bridges in the county that have been deemed to be in poor condition.
Road and Bridge staff engineer Matt Mulder told commissioners that in 2022, Gov. Brad Little signed Senate Bill 1359, which awarded the state $200 million for bridge repairs and replacements in Idaho.
“The state has over 400 bridges that are rated in poor condition,” Mulder said. “Within Bonner County, we have 11 bridges out of 39 that were rated in poor condition, so we were able to submit half of those for consideration to be repaired or replaced.”
