Bus Routes Adjusted for Roadwork

🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

Okanogan Transit will adjust bus routes for the Oroville-Tonasket, Tonasket-Aeneas Valley, and Tonasket-Okanogan routes from August 17-20, 2026. The changes are due to chip sealing work on 1st and Western streets, which will be closed during that period.

The transit agency states that buses will be relocated to Locust Street during the closure. Riders are advised to check the transit website for updated schedules. The notice does not specify if additional detours or service disruptions will occur beyond the route change.

The work on 1st and Western is scheduled to last through August 20, 2026, with routes returning to normal after that date.
