A precast jersey barrier is a heavy concrete block designed to stand upright and interlock with other barriers to guide traffic or for other purposes. You’ve probably seen a precast concrete jersey barrier when driving past road construction.
Precast concrete highway & traffic barriers can provide safety for drivers, pedestrians, and others by blocking hazards or rerouting traffic. Interlocking jersey barriers are also often used to keep materials separate in supply yards, guide foot traffic through outdoor festivals, and protect sensitive equipment, tools, or utilities.
Precast jersey barriers are easier to use and more reliable than barriers fabricated on the job site. Precast manufacturers can completely control the environment while the concrete cures. That level of control means that precast barriers remain consistent from one end to the next instead of each weathering differently as it cures.
Plus, we reinforce our precast barriers with steel on the inside. They can withstand the elements and remain standing year after year with no maintenance required. Precast concrete barriers are built to last.
The precasting process makes consistent precast concrete jersey barriers from segment to segment. That consistency in production means that the precast jersey barrier segments often fit together more easily than barriers fabricated on-site too. That gives you a simpler time customizing the layout of your barriers and saves you time twice by simplifying both the setup and teardown of your project.
The advantages are clear. If you need concrete traffic barriers, highway barriers, or jersey barriers, get them from a trusted manufacturer, like Harper Precast.
Harper Precast provides a wide range of precast concrete barriers including:
Harper precast concrete barriers are built to last. Solve your concrete barrier problem one time by calling Harper, and you won’t have to worry about it ever again. Each segment of our precast concrete jersey barriers is built to be there for every project as long as you need them.
Precast concrete barriers can withstand mother nature’s annual onslaught. In contrast, the fluctuating heat, cold, and moisture will crack and crumble lesser barriers. But, precast barriers will keep standing strong and looking sharp, season after season.
Invest in a precast concrete barrier now and save on maintenance, repair, and replacement costs later. Our durable precast barriers pay you back in the long run because you can rely on them every year. With less durable barriers, you’ll constantly spend money replacing worn and weathered sections.
Set your precast concrete barrier in place, then forget it. Precast concrete barriers cure under optimal conditions to remain hardy and weather-resistant without additional maintenance. Installing concrete barriers won’t add any upkeep or labor costs.
Precast or prefabricated doesn’t mean our barriers are all the same. We offer a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and interlocks. Get the precast concrete jersey barriers that suit the needs of your space.
Customize the flow and safety of your space by shaping it with concrete barriers. Whether you need to block off a section of a parking lot or walkway, keep machinery away from delicate equipment, or keep materials separated, you can create a barrier that’s just the right shape. Mix and match the various precast concrete jersey barrier sections to create custom layouts for your space.
When most people think of concrete traffic barriers, they think of their use on the sides of major roadways. Although they serve an important purpose by separating walkways and oncoming traffic from the road, they also have several other equally important applications. They are also used to protect utilities and materials. Concrete barriers can effectively block sensitive wiring and underground materials from being hit by heavy machinery and forms on the job site. They can also be used to deter traffic, separate materials, and prevent erosion in certain areas. Because concrete traffic barriers must be durable to do their job, the most effective fabrication methods must be used to build them.
Concrete barriers can be either prefabricated or made onsite. The process of prefabrication is called pre-casting and provides some major benefits. One benefit of the precast method is quality control. Because the pre-casting process takes place in an enclosed building, the materials used are safe from elemental damage and able to cure under optimal conditions for strength and consistency. The enclosed location used to fabricate precast concrete barriers also allows the process to run more smoothly than onsite fabrication because the weather conditions don’t need to be accounted for to prevent damage to the materials.
Precast concrete traffic barriers save time and money throughout the barrier fabrication process. They are made of higher-quality materials that ultimately create a stronger structure. Finding a precast concrete barrier provider in your area to fabricate and deliver your concrete barriers will help you ensure that your barriers will be easy to install and will stand the test of time without constant repair.

A jersey barrier is a compact, concrete structure that separates traffic on roadways. These barriers help minimize vehicle damage in cases when cars are hit incidentally by redirecting the vehicle from further collision. Jersey barriers can also reroute traffic and protect pedestrians during highway construction. The most commonly used version of the jersey barrier is the F-shape barrier.
Concrete barriers integrate a customized design and measurements perfected by engineers. These designs incorporate a strong interlocking system that appends together, forming an insuperable barrier. Using these engineered modifications, concrete and jersey barrier manufacturers pour the concrete material into the precast structure already reinforced with steel.
The weight of a concrete barrier block structure depends on the type and size. A 2x2x4 concrete block weighs approximately 1750 lbs., while a 12-foot jersey barrier weighs 600 lbs. There are hundreds of concrete block barriers available depending on the needs and weight limits of your project.
