Sam Houston Ship Channel Bridge marker. Up for sale today is this Sam Houston Ship Channel Bridge sign, from Beltway 8 in Houston, Texas. Made to the exact 1982 standard from the beginning days of the bridge, when it opened on May 6. The bridge, a cantilevered concrete trapezoidal haunched hollow box girder bridge, provides a 175-foot tall safe channel for ships to pass under the busy traffic of the beltway, which circles the city of Houston. At the time it was completed, it held the record for being the longest box girder span in the Western Hemisphere, an honor it held until 1997. Take home the elegant design of the marker for this historic bridge, reproduced in exquisite detail on high-quality, heavy steel today!An original of these is very rare to find scrapped; furthermore, they enjoy their active service on the highways of Texas. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble.This sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 8 pounds, 2 ounces, and is 21 by 18 inches - a faithful rescaling of the original 28x24 size seen on the road to this day. It is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (If you would like a different size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!)Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 10 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
