M8, Swinton (Junction 8)
The exit slip road from the M8 (junction 8) for the M73/M74 motorways.
Note the typical “Glasgow-type” sign gantry advising of the approaching junction 15 as the slip road from junction 16 joins from the left. With 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.
Gantries of this type were 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 network around Glasgow.
