Transition barrier for connecting a permanent barrier to a temporary barrier

A transition barrier for transitioning from a permanent concrete barrier to a temporary concrete barrier, preventing a vehicle impacting said transition barrier from penetrating, underriding, overriding or overturning said transition barrier, said transition barrier comprising:

• a) a first end;
• said first end being connectable to a surface of said permanent concrete barrier by a permanent concrete barrier connector;
• b) a second end;
• said second end being connectable to an end of said temporary concrete barrier by a temporary concrete barrier connector;
• c) a transition section defining an impact load receiving transition wall of a predetermined length between said first end and said second end;
• said transition wall comprising a steel plate having a top, bottom, front and a back;
• d) at least one barrier brace proximate said transition wall, for supporting said transition wall;
• and
• e) at least one spacer, proximate the back of said transition wall for contact with a surface of said permanent concrete barrier, wherein said at least one spacer comprises a plurality of spacers, said plurality of spacers comprising a combination of fixed in length spacers and adjustable in length spacers;
• wherein said transition wall comprises a surface profile resembling that of said permanent concrete barrier.
