SANDPOINT — Weight limits remain in effect on portions of Bonner County roads as spring breakup conditions continue, Bonner County Road & Bridge officials said.

Under weight‑limit restrictions, no early morning hauling is allowed on any Bonner County‑maintained road posted with such restrictions. A red flag or no flag posted on a sign indicates weight limits are in effect.

• District 1 (south of the Long Bridge) — In District 1, weight restrictions have been lifted on most county roads, with the exception of the following roads, which remain restricted: Whittum Road, Norman Way, Walker Way, Roy Way, Gledang Bay Road, Martin Bay Road, Eureka Road, Birch Haven Drive, Sweeney Drive, Hanford Drive, Bella Circle, Comeback Bay Lane, East Comeback Bay Lane, Bottle Bay Road east of Lignite Road, Wooded Acres Drive and Westwood Heights Drive.

• District 2 (Priest River/Priest Lake) — In District 2, all county roads have been lifted from weight‑limit restrictions.

• District 3 (Sandpoint/Clark Fork) — In District 3, all county roads will be lifted from weight‑limit restrictions as of the morning of Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

Per county ordinance, it is the responsibility of haulers to contact the Bonner County Road & Bridge Department to determine whether weight‑limit restrictions are in effect. Restrictions will remain in place until changed, at which time updates will be posted.
