Smart Motorway gantry sign
A gantry structure spanning the motorway with electronic signals, blue signs showing an exit and the following text.
Exit destinations: A6192 Markham Vale; (A632) Bolsover.
Forward destinations: The SOUTH, Nottingham M1.
Junction number: 29A.
Until this junction was built in the 2000s, Bolsover and its dramatic hillside castle (particularly good at night when it's lit up) were clearly visible on the left as you travelled down the M1, but surprisingly difficult to reach from the motorway.
