Contractors for AT&T are working to relocate some of the company’s utility lines in preparation of a long-awaited replacement of the one-lane Rawhide Road bridge over Woods Creek in Jamestown.

Placer County has decided to preserve the bridge by constructing a totally new one just downstream over the north fork of the American River.
