SANDPOINT — Five Bonner County bridges needing dire repairs have been approved for funding through the Leading Idaho Local Bridge Program. The fifth and final bridge will be reconstructed this year, said Road and Bridge Director Jason Topp at the Tuesday commissioners’ meeting.

In 2022, Gov. Brad Little signed an agreement that allows up to $200 million in funds for the repair and rebuilding of bridges across Idaho that are in disarray. 

“Bonner County submitted five applications for bridges to be considered and all five of the bridges have been selected for funding of replacements,” he said.
