I've seen a lot of these curved truss arms in Quebec but I haven't seen any in Ontario so I'm wondering where is this located? I agree the OVX does look pretty good on them.

Alabama had lots of Curved Truss Arms...thats the only place ive seen them so far.

@joe_347V, these are here in Brampton they are only on one part of our Main street, sadly when they need replacing they simply put up on of those standard poles Sad

Pittsburgh has many curved truss arms too.

Thanks gailgrove, I've found where these are using streetview.

We have a lot of those curved trusses in the two beltways in MD...the Beltway around Baltimore (I-695) and the MD part of the Beltway that goes around Washington DC (I-295) They were made of steel so a lot of them are rusty.....Right now they are HPS.....most are found with GE M-250R1 but you find some L-150s on them in I-295 and some other fixtures mixed...Also you would find a lot of spot replacement from ROAD KILL or some new group of streetlights with different arms....

The short arms found along with the curved trusses....the I-295 and I-695 have slightly different short arms....the 295 has curved braced upsweeps while the 695 has angled braced upsweeps

Hey that Pole is Tall! Shocked

I think its only about 35-40 feet, the tallest we use here (except for high masts)
is 50 feet.

Ohio uses curved truss arms on their freeways also.
