Not every rockfall corridor in Connecticut requires a high-energy flexible barrier. Along I-95 rock cuts, I-84 through the Western Highlands, Route 8 through the Naugatuck Valley, and the Merritt Parkway, many slopes produce moderate rockfall — small to medium blocks that roll, slide, or bounce into highway ditches. Catch fences intercept this material at the ditch line or on benches cut into the slope, preventing it from reaching the roadway.
Access Limited installs catch fence systems across Connecticut — engineered for the block sizes, fall trajectories, and containment requirements specific to each CTDOT corridor.
Ditch-line catch fences are installed along the inside edge of the highway ditch — the last line of defense before rockfall enters the travel lanes. These systems are sized to contain the rockfall volume and energy anticipated from the upslope source.
Bench-mounted fences are installed on intermediate benches cut into the slope — intercepting rockfall partway down the face before it can build energy on the lower slope.
Temporary catch fences provide immediate rockfall protection during construction, emergency response, or interim periods while permanent systems are designed and installed.
Access Limited deploys crews to Connecticut's dense Northeast corridor with equipment staged for rapid mobilization.
