Overhead Sign Gantry at Junction 3 of the M77
A typical “Glasgow-type” sign gantry at Junction 3 of the M77 near Barrhead.
Gantries of this type were first erected as part of the construction of the Kingston Bridge and its approach roads in 1970 and they are now a familiar sight on the motorway network around Glasgow. They have the following distinctive elements:
• near and offside support legs (basically 2 rectangular hollow sections with base plates to allow connections to the foundations),
• a main frame (made up of rectangular hollow sections) - Over clad on the front and rear,
• a sub frame (made up of smaller hollow sections and welded to main frame),
• a sign face - acrylic sheets hung from the front of the sub frame over its full height,
• internal electrics - sign lighting provided through the use of several dozen fluorescent battens.
