Going the Extra Mile on an Install

Some billboards take extra effort.  Billboard Insider talked with Graham Outdoor’s Shannon Graham about a challenging construction project.

Where is the sign?

This particular board is located On I-16 just as you come into Savannah Ga. east of the  I-16 and I-95 interchange.

How much gravel did you put in and what was the access road like.

We hauled in 120 tons of rock all the way from Augusta Ga because  nobody in the area has any available due to all the warehouses and road work being done. It only got us half the distance with the 600 ft of road we have to cover. With the remaining 300 ft left we may use crane mats to get the crane and concrete trucks in.

When will the project be complete?

We are hoping to install the sign within the next few weeks or so, mother nature isn’t cooperating and the soil on the coast is terrible. We have advertisers waiting that have been signed on before the location was permitted and its a good thing they are patient and understand the circumstances.

Billboard Insider will check in with Shannon once the sign is up.
