A barrier assembly includes first, second and third bodies that are vertically stacked. Each body includes a top surface and side surfaces. Inlet ports are formed within the top surfaces. Isolated chambers are formed within and are equidistantly spaced from a center of each body. The bodies include opposed ends that have serrations formed therewith that are interfitted for inhibiting lateral movement of the bodies during collision. The bodies also include indentations formed therein for receiving a user's hands or a fork lift arm, and assisting the user to transport the bodies. Reinforcement rods, formed from non-corrosive material, traverse through the bodies. At least one reinforcement rod is medially seated between the isolated compartments for counterbalancing a combined weight of the bodies. A connector rod is conjoined to the bodies such that the bodies are prohibited from disengaging while experiencing an impact force.
