Morton Road in Alta reopens with new bridge

Placer County was pleased to join neighborhood residents and an amazing group from the Sons of Norway to celebrate the opening of the new Morton Road bridge in Alta Wednesday. In January torrential rain caused 40 feet of rock and soil between the Canyon Creek culvert and Morton Road to be swept away. With the bridge repair on the fast-track, we met our goal of building the new bridge by the end of June, just three months after construction began. Learn more

County evolves with growing food truck industry

Check out our recent “food truck roundup” event.
