Those who travel Route 9 regularly should expect delays Wednesday, May 20 as the remains of 44 individuals from the Revolutionary War are transported to Lake George for reinterment.
The motorcade for the βRepose of the Fallenβ project will include New York State Police leading nine Korean War and Vietnam-era military trucks operated by members of the NY-Penn Military Vehicle Collectors Club. The convoy will include an es**rt provided by New York members of the Patriot Guard Riders.
The motorcade will depart from the back of the NY State Museum at approximately 10 a.m. Wednesday. The route north will take it through Albany County, Saratoga County and into Warren County at the city of Glens Falls, where there will be a brief halt at the intersection of Route 9 and Bacon Street for an observance.
From Glens Falls, the motorcade will travel through the town of Queensbury to the town of Lake George. Upon entering the village of Lake George, the motorcade will turn north onto Elizabeth O'Connor Little Boulevard, then head east on Beach Road for a short distance before turning onto Fort George Road and stopping at the memorial site. The estimated time of arrival is noon to 1 p.m.
Upon arrival, most of the caskets will be immediately interred in the memorial. The remaining four caskets will be taken to a nearby church to be safeguarded until the ceremony at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 22.
The remains were unearthed in 2019 during excavation for a construction project in Lake George.
