Scope and Content

Three black-and-white negative photographs featuring the 14th Concession Culvert being rolled into place, on June 5, 1980.

R13 S3 Sh6 B3 163a was published in the Rodney Mercury on June 5, 1980, with the caption: "The 14th Concession culvert was rolled into place Thusday noon, without difficulty, but placing it took some doing, a bulldozer having to perch precariously on the edge of the excavation to push a log against the heavy culvert and move the north end in line with the creek channel. Since then the excavation has been filled. Once all the grading is completed to the hills, the top of which are being made wider, the road will be reopened, hopefully not to require any more attention for another 50 years."
