Chip sealing to begin Monday in District 1

I’ve spent most of my life in northeastern Washington and graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2021. After that, I spent roughly two years working for a small online newspaper in North Seattle before realizing big city living wasn’t for me. Me and my pup, Kodak, headed east, where we eventually landed in Sandpoint. When I’m not writing, you can find me spending time exercising and taking photos. I ran two half marathons in high school and after spending the past few years recovering from various injuries, I’m hoping to complete my first full marathon by the end of the year. I also love any outdoor activity, none of which would be complete without my dog. Kodak and I love going for walks and hikes, and I can’t wait to try to convince him to get in my kayak and spend the hot months of the year on Lake Pend Oreille. While he’s not a fan of baths, he sure does love chasing the ducks. | July 4, 2024 1:00 AM

The Bonner County Road and Bridge Department is beginning its chip sealing project Monday, July 8, in the county’s District 1 sector, south of the Long Bridge.

The roads that will be getting sealed are: Ferry Road, Old Highway 95, Algoma Spur Road, South Sagle Road, Gallop Circle Road, Horizon Drive, East Dufort Road, Comeback Bay Road, East Comeback Bay Road, Gold Mountain Drive, Spades Road and Schell Road.

Expect delays while the project is ongoing and leave with plenty of time. Staff are also asking drivers to be patient with workers who are repairing the roads.
