In New York, deferred high-tension cable barrier work compounds risk with every season — and every impact leaves the next vehicle unprotected.
Cross-median crossover crashes are among the most severe events on New York's divided highways. Wide grass medians on the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-90), the Long Island Expressway, the Taconic State Parkway, and I-84 without a barrier leave nothing to stop an errant vehicle from entering opposing traffic.
high-tension cable barrier systems catch and redirect vehicles in the median with minimal maintenance and rapid, low-cost repair after impacts.
RoadGuard closes that gap for private developers, general contractors, and public agencies alike across New York.
Road Safety Systems (RSS) and M.L. Ruberton Construction Company deliver roadside safety work across New York.
RSS's roadside-safety specialists and Ruberton's heavy-civil construction teams work together across New York, pairing MASH-compliant installation with the crews, equipment, and DOT familiarity to keep projects moving and inspections passing.
RoadGuard installs high-tension cable barrier across New York to MASH and NYSDOT standards. Along corridors including the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-90), the Long Island Expressway, the Taconic State Parkway, and I-84, every system is engineered for the hazard, design speed, and roadside conditions of the site — across New York, from Long Island to the Southern Tier, alike. This work is part of RoadGuard's broader guiderail program in New York.
RoadGuard installs high-tension, pre-stretched three- and four-cable high-tension cable barrier systems on driven or socketed posts — engineered tension holds the cables at bumper height across long runs and temperature extremes.
Cable barrier is placed on the median slope or roadside per NYSDOT warrants, capturing vehicles before they cross into opposing lanes or reach fixed hazards.
After an impact, cable systems are re-tensioned and posts replaced in hours, not days — restoring protection on the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-90), the Long Island Expressway, the Taconic State Parkway, and I-84 with minimal lane closure.
Where the site calls for a different rail type, RoadGuard also installs W-beam guiderail, box beam guiderail, impact attenuators, and bridge railing in New York.
Every RoadGuard guiderail installation is engineered to meet NYSDOT specifications and is backed by a one-year performance warranty on materials and workmanship. Whether the work originates with a state or county DOT contract, a municipal authority, or a private developer, the same fixed-cost, warranty-backed process applies from the first site visit to sign-off.
