NOXON — After nearly two weeks of having no way in or out of town, the Noxon Bridge has opened with restrictions.

Noxon Rural Fire Chief Jim Byler says the bridge now has a 10 mph speed limit with a maximum weight of 29 tons.

These conditions will allow essential food and supply deliveries to be brought into town and for school buses to continue their usual routes.

Byler told MTN the cost to fully repair the bridge will not be funded by the state and will need to be paid for by Sanders County.
