Cable barriers proven to help prevent vehicles from crossing median


Posted on Aug 18, 2009

Wire rope fences use high-tension cable to guide cars or trucks which crash into them by capturing the vehicle and preventing it from crossing the  median into oncoming traffic.    The Indiana Department of Transportation  has been testing the cable barriers on two stretches of Indiana insterstate since late 2005.  The barriers have been in use along Interstate 65 between Zionsville and Lebanon and on Interstate 69 between Noblesville and Anderson.   Within the 13 mile test area along I65, the barrier was struck 69 times by out of control vehicles within the first eight months.   Amazingly, none of the  vehicles passed through the barrier and there were no fatalities or serious injuries reported.  

INDOT will begin installing the cable barrier the first week of January in 2009, along the I-70 median in Wayne, Marion and Hancock counties as part of a $20 million dollar barrier installation project for ever 150 miles of Indiana interstate.
