[Gone] Cobras Being Replaced
|
Here's a shot of some old truss and newer taper e armed cobras that are also being replaced as part of the freeway widening and interchange reconfiguration on Hwy.401. The truss armed poles should date to around the same time as the older highmasts in my other pic but they could be put in earlier.
As I have said before I kind of miss the old truss lights since this was one of the last freeway-freeway interachanges that still used the truss style lighting and that the arm style was pretty unique to Ontario

UPDATE: Its now March or April
SECOND UPDATE: And now its some time this year, I don't know when
I remember when they redid the lighting on the 427 they put up the highmasts in 05-06 but they left the old cobraheads and poles up until March 09

Here's how we light our sections of freeway that are close to the runway.
Interestingly because of how close to the airport this section of freeway is, they swapped out out some of the original 40-50ft truss poles with shorter ones during the mid 90s...sometime around '96 if I remember correctly.
