MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
In 2019, the company added its own certified fabrication division to meet
customer demands for bridgerails, handrails, bridge connections and other
custom safety products.
Today, Roadside Supply has nine employees including supervisors, safety

Calgary, Anthony Henday in Edmonton, 110 km of high tension cable barrier
running from Red Deer to Leduc and the Regina Bypass, to smaller
county jobs and bridge rehabs.
They started shipping more to Saskatchewan in 2012, with the cable barrier
system and guardrail products being the most popular in the province,

adding bridge rails, which led to new projects.

last fall. Other notable projects in the province include bridge rehabilitations
in the Battlefords, Yorkton and Swift Current areas.
