US-550 San Juan Skyway Highway Barriers | Ideal Fencing Corp

US-550 through the San Juan Mountains includes barrier challenges found nowhere else in the CDOT system — cliff-edge applications where standard post-and-beam guardrail cannot be anchored conventionally, and where barrier failure has fatal consequences. CDOT Region 5 uses enhanced concrete and cable barrier systems on the most exposed sections of Red Mountain Pass and the Uncompahgre Gorge.
