Drawbridge Reconstruction Barrier Fence Project
Glen Island Drawbridge Reconstruction Project Features Hilmerson Barrier Fence System™
A major infrastructure update is in full swing in New Rochelle, NY, where Kiewit Infrastructure Corp secured a $79.7 million contract to rebuild the Glen Island Drawbridge — originally constructed back in 1930.


Barrier Fence System Boosts Safety and Control on the Jobsite
To help protect crews and the surrounding community during this high-traffic rebuild, the Hilmerson Barrier Fence System™ is being used on-site.
Why the Hilmerson Barrier Fence System™ Is the Right Fit for Long-Term Infrastructure Projects
With work happening near open water, public walkways, and active traffic, safety and control are everything. The Hilmerson Barrier Fence System™ offers a heavy-duty reusable solution.
It helps contractors:
- Clearly separate construction zones from pedestrian and vehicle access
- Reduce fall hazards on elevated platforms and bridge edges
- Withstand tough weather conditions
- Adapt quickly to shifting work zones without compromising site security
When projects span years and involve multiple phases like this one, a safe, organized perimeter isn’t optional — it’s essential.
