Understanding Bridge Railing Upgrades

Bridge rail retrofitting involves upgrading and reinforcing existing railings to comply with current DOT safety and performance standards. This process strengthens the barriers and extends their life span, ensuring they provide the necessary protection for motorists and pedestrians.

Why Bride Retrofitting Is Necessary

Older bridge railings often suffer from corrosion, structural inadequacies, and failure to meet current safety codes. These issues increase the likelihood of vehicles veering off bridges or colliding with the structure, potentially causing severe injuries or fatalities. Upgrading railings is essential to mitigate these risks and enhance overall safety.
