Warning Gates for Movable Bridges

Warning gates play a vital role in movable bridge operations by providing clear, highly visible signals that stop roadway traffic when a bridge is opening or closing. Positioned at bridge approaches, these gates extend across traffic lanes to prevent vehicles from entering the span, often working in coordination with traffic signals and navigation lights for a fully integrated safety system. We provide proven warning gate options that integrate easily into any movable bridge project, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

Resistance Barriers for Movable Bridges

Resistance barriers provide critical protection in movable bridge operations by physically preventing vehicles from entering the span during openings or closures. Installed at bridge approaches, these barriers are designed to stop or redirect traffic in a controlled manner, helping safeguard both motorists and bridge infrastructure. Often paired with warning gates, traffic signals, and navigation lights, they form part of a fully integrated safety system. B&B Roadway offers a variety of resistance barrier solutions that adapt seamlessly to movable bridge projects, delivering reliable performance and long-term protection.

Lighting the Way

Navigation lights are essential to movable bridge operations, guiding vessels safely through channels when the bridge is raised or closed. Positioned to provide clear visibility on approach, these lights ensure mariners receive unmistakable signals that support safe and efficient waterway traffic flow. B&B Roadway supplies durable, dependable navigation lighting solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of movable bridge projects, ensuring long-term reliability in even the most demanding environments.
