Dismantling of "Ponts et Chaussées" signs
August 2022
The year is 2022... A regular visitor to the MuSé informed us of the existence of this complex in Nivelles. It's a very old set, dating from 1985. It is of particular interest because these road signs have been "modified" in terms of road numbering.
After contacting the SPW in Nivelles, it transpired that a purchase order had been issued for the replacement of these panels... and therefore their destruction. The Walloon administration agreed to save them by storing them on its premises.
Florent and I worked as a team to dismantle each of the panels. The signs were manufactured by Socal Light, which ceased trading in 1995.
