Rt 119 From Connellsville to Uniontown
The stretch of Rt 119 between Connellsville and Uniontown is fairly open and not highly populated. The roadway is ever steepening rolling hills. Visibility is reasonable but can drop to 100m or less from over 1000m in the space of a single hill. Structures are often located 10s of meters off the side of the roadway (to any parking lots). This region has a MAJOR interchange just East and North of the town proper. This interchange includes Rt 119, Rt 51 South, and Toll 43 (The Mon-Fayette Expressway) which connects Pittsburgh to Wheeling WV. Rt 119 then continues on towards Morgantown WV after passing THROUGH Uniontown.
Rt 40 South crosses UNDER the Rt 119/Rt 51S "Superloop" North of Uniontown and drops into the West side of downtown and runs South out of town. It is 4 lanes + turning lanes through town (and as open as Rt 30 between Monroeville and Greensburg) and divides downtown from the Hospital located on Rt 21 West (to Waynesburg) halfway down the hill from the exit off of Rt119. The road narrows to 2 lanes and becomes closed in (10m ranges) as it climbs outside of town through a residential district. Rt 40 has SEVERAL interesting landmarks such as Fort Necessity and the Laural Caverns along it and is VERY windy and twisting as it follows ridge after ridge into West Virginia.
Rt 21 runs East and West through Uniontown and connects Fayette County to Waynesburg and Green County to the West. The Hospital is located on Rt 21 (about 1 block from Rt40) as is Uniontown's mall. There is also a Water Purification Unit from the 99th ARCOM just outside of town on Rt 21 W (about 2 miles from the mall). This unit is a detachment of the Greensburg Water Purification Unit (which was hit by a Scud attack in the 1st Gulf War) and the unit's drill hall is COMPLETELY fenced in. There may be supplies available here.
Downtown Uniontown is very tight on space (like most 200-year-old US towns) and most likely overrun by infected from the hospital on Rt 21 East.
