Never seen sand in the barrels other than racetrack videos. Water is all I've seen and sand surprised me.

If they wanted to protect the bridge they'd just use a bigger chunk of concrete since it needs no maintenance even after a crash with less than a 100 ton vehicle. And hire lots of lawyers for the law suits for deliberately putting them near the road.

They are generally filled with water (and some kind of antifreeze) or sand. True, water doesn't compress, but it can (and does) move out of the way, absorbing some energy along the way.
Concrete doesn't compress OR move out of the way.

We have water ones here in VA. Usually 6-8 of them stacked like bowling pins. Water is best energy absorber and a lot easier of a cleanup over sand. I’ve never seen any involved in person but ally of pics I’ve seen show little damage to whatever the barrels are stacked in front of and a really wet vehicle
