Guardrail Repair – IDOT-Approved Contractor

 

At Midwest Fence Corporation, we understand that guardrail systems can sustain damage from vehicle impacts, weather, or long-term wear—compromising their ability to protect motorists. With over 75 years of experience, we provide IDOT-compliant repairs for roadside and median barriers across Illinois. Our union field crews are trusted by municipalities, counties, and public agencies to restore safety and function with the same high standards of quality and workmanship that define every Midwest Fence project.

​Comprehensive Guardrail Repair Capabilities

We handle repairs of all types, whether you're dealing with isolated damage or a large section that needs removal and replacement. Our repair services include:

​

Replacement of Damaged Guardrail Components

We routinely replace damaged or compromised guardrail parts, including:

  • W-Beam and Thrie-Beam rail sections

  • Steel or wood posts

  • Cable barrier components

  • End treatments and crash cushions

  • Offset/spacer blocks, bolts, and hardware

​

All replacement materials meet IDOT-approved specifications and are installed to restore both function and safety performance.

​

Guardrail Restoration After Collisions

When guardrail is severely deformed or destroyed due to a vehicle impact, our team will:

  • Evaluate the extent of damage on site

  • Safely remove and dispose of twisted or broken material

  • Reinstall new rail, posts, and safety terminals

  • Ensure alignment, height, and offsets are compliant with current standards

​

Bridge Rail and Parapet Repairs

In addition to ground-mounted systems, we repair bridge-mounted guardrail and parapet rail systems, including custom-fabricated and ornamental components. Our in-house fabrication capabilities allow us to replicate damaged pieces if needed.

​

Reliable Service, Quality Workmanship

Midwest Fence prioritizes craftsmanship, safety, and long-term reliability in every guardrail repair project. Unlike emergency-only responders, we take a careful, standards-based approach that ensures every repaired system:

  • Restores the original performance of the barrier

  • Meets or exceeds IDOT, Tollway, and local specs

  • Uses properly sourced and traceable materials

  • Maintains consistency with surrounding installations

​

Our goal is not just to respond—but to repair once and repair right, so your roadway infrastructure stays compliant, safe, and structurally sound over time.

​

Trusted by Agencies Across Illinois

We proudly perform repair and replacement work for:

  • Townships

  • Villages

  • County highway departments

  • City public works divisions

  • State and Tollway contractors

​

With decades of experience on public infrastructure, our team understands the paperwork, staging, and documentation requirements that come with maintaining roadside safety systems in the public right-of-way.

​

IDOT-Compliant Repairs with New & Used Materials

We stock a wide selection of new and used IDOT-approved guardrail materials, including W-Beam rail, posts, and hardware. Used material availability is limited to inventory on hand, but can be a cost-effective solution for smaller repairs or budget-sensitive agencies.
