Junction 13 M8 Blochairn

Postby papa lazarou » Tue May 06, 2008 9:52 pm

I haven't seen any mention of these fly over pillars and have just recently got a few pictures of them. These are motorway pillars at Junction 13 (Blochairn) and are fantastic. Why aren't more grey pillars under the motorway like this - say for example underneath the Kingston Bridge.
Does anyone know the artist or have any info about the designs. I'm assuming their related to the Commonwealth Games???

Some of the pillars underneath the Kingston bridge have very similar pictures at the moment. I myself don't know much about them at all, but yes, I guess they're 2014-related...

They were just starting them a few weeks ago when I passed but I hadnt seen them finished. They look great but how long before some prick sprays his tag on them? :evil:
