An aerial photo shows a temporarily repaired slide area on Peter Dan Road where the dark spot marks temporary asphalt over a hump created by a landslide. Okanogan County on Tuesday accepted a bid of $2,011,679.50 from Selland Construction of Wenatchee to perform work on the landslide area. The work includes clearing the landslide and stabilizing the hillside. The road will be closed from July 16, when Selland Construction plans to begin the work, until Aug. 24. Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of October. - Scott Hunter photo
