SANDPOINT — The Bonner County Road and Bridge Department received approval Tuesday to purchase multiple new vehicles to ensure the county’s roads stay well maintained year round.

Director Jason Topp came before the board with two requests — one for a new street sweeper and the other for multiple new dump trucks. The sweeper, a 2024 Superior Broom from Papé Machinery, will be utilized by the department nearly all year.

“This will be used for sweeping all the roads in Bonner County,” Topp said. “We use it pretty much all year long. We use it to sweep the sand and everything off the road in the spring and we use it for our chip seal season as well in the summer months.”
