Motorway Gantry SignsHaving just returned to Manchester from Cornwall I can vouch for the effectiveness of the
Motorway Gantry Signs that are in place on the UK`s major road networks. You tend to take notice of signs when you spend 6 hours behind the wheel. Many of the motorway gantries have been in their current position for many years and a number of them are in need of refurbishment. A short time ago a large project was undertaken on the M4 whereby a number of existing gantries needed to be removed with the sole purpose of updating them and fitting them with new signs. As you might imagine this was no easy task and the entire scheme had to be effectively project managed from the start until the finish. Bearing in mind that some of the gantries were 23 tonnes and had spans of 27 metres long it`s easy to understand why a specialist engineering team were brought in to oversee the project,. They not only removed the gantries they took them back to their workshop to be refurbished and to have new
Motorway Gantry Signs fitted to them. The next time I drive down the M4 I`ll take notice of the
Motorway Gantry Signs and fully appreciate the amount of work that went into fitting them into position.
