In this undated photograph, an accident at the corner of Upper Mountain and Saunders Settlement Roads has traffic blocked.
As we look east, the Lockport Bypass has not yet been constructed, although it appears that the truck to the right is ready to forge a new path across the south side of Lockport. An “Evacuation Route” sign stands directly to the rear of the troubled truck.
Does anyone remember these Evacuation routes?
