BY GUS THOMSON OF THE AUBURN JOURNAL Time was when High- way 49 in North Auburn was little more than a two- lane country road. This installment of the “Remember This?” series shows a watershed day in the life of the highway. The date was Oct. 15, 1976, and poles, arms and traffic lights had been put in place for use at the corner of Highway 49 and Bell Road — usurping stop signs that had been there for many years. Highway 49 traffic was growing and contractor M and M Electric Co. of Sacra- mento started work at the intersection in mid-Sep- tember of that year, cutting through the pavement and digging down deep for the new poles to be anchored in the ground. That sign you see on the right is for the late, great Moonshiner’s Restaurant and Cocktail Bar, which was undergoing some remodeling of its own. The Bell-49 array wasn’t the first traffic light in the area. That was in 1954. And it wouldn’t be the last.
