Our History
Founded in 1974, Colorado Barricade began as a family-owned work zone safety company. Over the past 50 years, the company has expanded its services in traffic control, established a pavement marking division, a sign installation division, and created one of the largest sign fabrication shops in Colorado.
The company sold in 1999 to United Rentals and spent several years in the corporate world until the summer of 2013. With new vision and local ownership, we have established ourselves as a leader in the industry while maintaining a workforce that operates as a family. Today, Colorado Barricade continues to deliver excellence through the expertise of our workforce, competitive pricing and the quality of our customers’ experiences.
