A road crew of W.L. French Trucking, J.F. White Contracting and James W. Flett Excavating remove and transport one half mile of Jersey barriers off Boston's Tobin Bridge during a single 7 hour night shift.

Two Kenworth tractors and one Peterbilt with 3 lowboys haul 560 tons of Jersey barriers one-half mile while in live traffic.

How much does the average barrier weigh? 560 tons is allot of weight!

Jersey barrier weighs 2 tons a piece. At 10 feet long each over a little more than a 1/2 mile thats 280 Jersey Barrier's.... Multiply that by 2 tons and you get 560 tons of material moved..... Not all at once of course...
