On Thursday, June 27th at 6:00 AM EHS received a call from a DelDOT representative telling us that there had been a major crash on I-95 and the bridge over the I-295 ramp had been severely damaged. Traffic was backed up for miles on both I-95 and I-295. He requested equipment and manpower to stabilize the bridge and remove debris and get the road back open.
There was no question about our response. It was immediate. Heavy equipment and manpower were dispatched to the site. Pictures show the precarious nature of this situation.
Due to our quick action, by 1:00 PM the situation was made safe and the road was reopened. Our crews, including one subcontractor who came immediately after our call, had worked to remove the dangerous hanging parapet and set temporary concrete barrier to protect the traveling public.
We are proud of our response to these situations.
After months of planning and coordination with DelDOT, Wagman Heavy Civil, Delmarva Power and Norfolk Southern Railroad, on Monday April 29th Eastern Highway Specialists successfully erected six 50,000 pound Contech precast arch sections at BR1-706. This bridge is part of the I-95 and SR 896 interchange project, the existing structure that carries a Norfolk Southern rail line under I-95 is getting widened to accommodate the new ramp lanes for the interchange.
This already challenging project due to the railroad coordination, was even more complex as there were multiple overhead electric transmission lines (up to 240kV) had to be de-energized by Delmarva Power with an outage that was scheduled 6 months ago.
Another electric outage will take place the week of May 13th to set the ten arch pieces for the NB I-95 widening.
