While bridge railings make up only 2 to 5 percent of a bridge’s total cost, their value to the public is immeasurable. No matter how impressive the bridge design, the right railing can significantly influence public perception and acceptance. This is why many bridge engineers nationwide are choosing elliptical bridge rails.
With over 80 years of proven highway performance, elliptical bridge railing remains a top choice for modern bridges. States like Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maryland are currently using elliptical tubing in NCHRP MASH Test Levels 3 (TL3), 4 (TL4), and 5 (TL5) bridge rail applications. While elliptical railings offer many advantages, their primary appeal lies in their open, aesthetically pleasing design that looks great on any bridge.
