BGS scattered around in construction sites (or hauled by trucks)

[STLmapboy]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could find more images/GSV links to BGSs waiting for installation (or old ones torn down) at highway construction sites. For example, this graveyard of old I-77 Uptown Charlotte signs near the end of the HOT lanes project: https://www.google.pl/maps/@35.24552,-80.8472675,3a,53.4y,240.61h,87.44t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqbSVdetujA0evoDzM64lKQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Any other links please paste in this thread. Thanks!

Found at the junction of CA 35/CA 92 last year:

TheGrassGuy posted one in another thread, it was taken along the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey:

Ever since the I-495 Express lanes were installed, the southwestern quadrant of the Braddock Rd / I-495 interchange more or less became a construction storage site.  In this image, there is signage waiting to be assembled and installed as part of the I-395 Express lanes.

You can often see signs waiting to be installed stored in WSDOT's Corson Ave S yard in Seattle. Oddly, the ones in this picture seem to have sat there for over a year from 2018 through 2019 (previous Street View images don't show sings sitting around for extended periods).

Removed sign bridge from I-70 widening in Springfield, Ohio last summer (OT, if you look at the new signs, the project plans were apparently never updated to not use Clearview)

This sign on I-44 in OKC lying in a pile of shit in the median: https://www.google.pl/maps/@35.5245853,-97.5319615,3a,77.8y,35.12h,64.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1shnTrAOm-dPOnD8gWnlBd5g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

For a state with multiple rural toll roads, OK sure has some mediocre freeways (and horrific signage).

I took this photo in 2009 during construction on I-80 near the Quad Cities.

These aren't all specifically at construction sites.

New signs awaiting installation on westbound I-696 in 2004 (obviously the order was switched when installed).  These were since replaced again in 2017.


Old signs in a staging area in 2004, waiting to be hauled away.




A funky I-94 shield on an old sign in 2004.


A bridge-mounted sign on M-61 in Harrison MI temporarily sits on the ground during a bridge repair project in 2007.

I picked up a US 24 shield out of Michigan that was on a BGS a couple years back.  I kind of wonder if it is from the sign being replaced in the second photo. 

[fillup420]

That's a really neat US 24 because it uses Michigan's custom variation of Series D (check out the way that the 4 is angled at the junction of the horizonal and diagonal stroke!).

Here are some signs on a trailer to be installed at a new interchange:

I think this is temporary. I hope this is temporary.

It has been like that for at least ten years according to the older Google imagery.

At southern I-35E/W split in DFW, there are some signs lying by the SB lanes of 35W: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.0598163,-97.0960186,3a,75.8y,248.74h,82.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXL5mu37FpPENQ-9R0YLjvA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

They were removed when a gantry was taken down for construction, and they've sat they're for about 2 years. If you go to 2018 imagery, the signs and gantry are together on the roadside, but the latest shows the gantry gone and the signs lying face-up on the grass. They are also surrounded by cones, a nice touch from TxDOT.

New signs awaiting installation on DE 1 South, related to the US 301 toll road.
(Gantry has since been mounted, it was up last time I drove thru there.)

I found these trailers of signs for I-81 in Tully a few years ago and posted it somewhere on the forum (I don't remember where).

EDIT; I believe a tornado or some windy weather event came through because there are many other fallen signs in the area from Dec 2019 GSV that weren't there before. They look pretty beat up.

Other signs in the area are also bent up, though not fallen. https://www.google.pl/maps/@32.1010892,-97.0150374,3a,75y,100.7h,91.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smLsOLBvSHpAt0NqCAzz2WQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

I remember there was a tornado in Oct 2019 in the Dallas area, so maybe this caused it?

Unceremoniously cast aside for the I-12 widening in Louisiana's Livingston Parish:

There's been a few in storage in this vicinity. It's in the middle of I-84 in Plainville, CT...near eastbound Exit 34 (Crooked Street).

Not a sign per se, but an MnDOT crew putting an XPRS decal on an express lane on I-35W in Minnesota:

what's with all the Polish Google Maps links?

Regular maps wasn't working for me, so I typed in another country's domain at random and it works fine. I bookmarked it anyway.
