Very old poles on Highway 2 in Warwick RI
|
This is southbound 2 approaching I-295. These braced upsweeps were installed in the 50s. In the 80s I remember many of them with grey M-400s from the late 60s and I think I may recall 1-2 with old clamshells, Form 109s I think. On this row the underground conduit apparently had gone bad, so now the poles are wired from the nearby secondary line on the utility poles.

Yep these poles originally held Form 109s according to a pic Joe M. sent me. These lights look liek they're 120V though since i only see two wires on the overhead feed. These lights all along Rte 2 (the part with these poles) was relamped so many of the fixtures are brand new. The first pole in the pic on the right held a doorless OVZ before. On the left are a bunch of new shiney HAPCO truss arms since the plow ran them over a couple years ago.
