And hope to get them, they will be coming down soon with the highway construction going on, I have talked to the contractor so hopefully I will get them plus a arm for myself and Joseph. Note the condition of the pole too!
Thanks, I can't believe how slow they are at this project, we first posted pictures of the new highmasts almost a year ago and they still aren't running (though two have lost their reflectors and one is crooked )
I noticed that MTO tends to leave the old truss lights for quite a while after they install highmast, the ones on the 427 were only fully removed in early '09 even though the highmast went up in '05.
I'm guessing for this stretch they're going to build the collector lanes first, close the old express lanes and then take these down during reconstruction.
Well....think of this...highmasts usually have 1000 watt fixtures....my area has some MH ballasted fixtures and some have 4 fixtures while others have 6 fixtures and are on roughly 65 foot tall poles.....no vibration dampers as far as I know!
Well concrete poles don't really need vibration dampers, here all metal poles 30 feet + have vibration dampers, don't forget Jace they are often inside the poles
I was going by these and it looks like they're going to remove them soon,
I saw a bucket truck with some linemen going up along with a ground crew disconnecting them.
Good! They seem to be taking all of the lights to their temporary storage/work yard, I am giving them a phone call tomorrow so I can hopefully go down there and get some lights soon!
Yep, I want one for sure, I also want a M400A3 and maybe a few of other lights I decide to pick out, I find anytime I get access to a pile of lights I end up filling the car.
