Bridge Railing

Bridge rail is one of the more specialized corners of highway safety infrastructure — it's a structural element of the bridge itself, not a standalone roadside device, which means it has to be engineered and installed in coordination with the bridge deck, the structural engineer of record, and the general contractor managing the broader bridge project. Road Safety Systems brings the same installation discipline we apply to guiderail and highway barrier work to bridge rail, tubular thrie beam, and retrofit projects across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, including bridge railing work on Delaware bridge projects.

Every bridge rail project we take on starts with a review of the bridge structural drawings and the applicable agency's bridge rail standards, followed by close coordination on reinforcing placement, deck pour sequencing, and the approach transition details that connect rigid bridge rail to flexible highway guiderail — one of the most engineering-sensitive details on any highway project.
