Smith-Midland Corp receives $1.6M order for J-J Hooks rental barrier

Smith-Midland received a contract through the Virginia DOT for $1.6M of J-J Hooks precast concrete barrier as part of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes project, in Norfolk, Virginia. The barriers will be provided by the company’s highway barrier rental division, Concrete Safety Systems. Delivery and installation of the J-J Hooks precast concrete freestanding and bolt-down barrier and attenuators, by CSS, will begin in November 2023, providing direction for motorists and safety for workers during the construction of the new express lanes leading to and from the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. The project is expected to run through the second half of 2026.
