Highway Safety Systems & Infrastructure Installation

Guardrail | Bridge Rail | Impact Attenuators | Specialty Fabrication

​

Midwest Fence Corporation provides highway safety solutions across Illinois and surrounding areas.

With over 75 years of experience, our union field crews install IDOT-approved systems for general contractors, public agencies, and infrastructure partners. We furnish and install guardrail, bridge rail, impact attenuators, and custom-fabricated components for state, municipal, and Tollway projects.

Guardrail

Guardrail is a crucial roadside safety feature designed to protect motorists, pedestrians, and nearby infrastructure in the event of a vehicle leaving the roadway. By effectively containing and redirecting errant vehicles, guardrail helps minimize the severity of crashes and reduce the risk of fatalities or serious injuries.

​

In addition to highways and medians, guardrail is used in parking structures, pedestrian walkways, industrial facilities, commercial areas, rail corridors, parks, residential zones, and bike lanes.

​

We furnish and install all IDOT-approved systems and standards, including W-Beam, Thrie-Beam, and cable barrier systems.

​

New and used material is available and is limited to stock on hand.

Please contact us for your guardrail needs.

Bridge Rail

Bridge railings, also known as bridge barriers or parapets, are crucial safety components that serve multiple purposes on bridges. These barriers contribute to the overall safety and functionality of bridges by protecting pedestrians and safeguarding the structure, elements, or traffic below.

 

Midwest Fence offers bridge rail in chain link, ornamental, or custom-fabricated steel, with multiple finish options. We also fabricate specialty rail systems in-house for projects requiring non-standard designs.

Temporary & Permanent Impact Attenuators

Impact attenuators are engineered systems that absorb collision energy to prevent or reduce the severity of crashes. Available in both temporary and permanent configurations, they protect fixed hazards such as concrete ends, bridge abutments, or work zones. When struck head-on, these systems slow and stop the vehicle; when struck at an angle, they redirect it away from danger.

​

All attenuators we install meet IDOT and Tollway specifications.

Specialty Steel & Custom Fabrication

Our in-house fabrication shop builds more than fence and rail—we fabricate custom steel components for public, commercial, and architectural applications. If you need parapet railing, pipe handrail, decorative entry features, or structural steel for infrastructure projects, we can help.

​

We handle jobs of all sizes and support both design-driven and spec-based fabrication needs.​

Did You Know?

Midwest Fence Corporation was one of the first companies in Illinois to install guardrail.

Since the early days of roadside safety, our crews have been setting posts and placing rail throughout the state — and we’re proud to still be doing it over 75 years later. We’ve evolved with every generation of safety standards, equipment, and DOT specifications — but our roots in reliable highway work haven’t changed.
