Proud Sponsors of "Run for Mental Health"

On Sunday September 22, EHS sponsored a Run for Mental Health, put on by Amanecer- a counseling and resource center for Hispanic individuals and families in need of these services. The mission of Amanecer is to see Latinos heal, grow, and thrive by providing behavioral health and resources to empower individuals and families.    Amanecer ( originally Family Counseling Center of St Paul’s ) offers assessments, therapy and education for individuals and groups. They also offer assistance with accessing services and resources using bilingual behavioral health professionals to assist Hispanic families.

At Eastern Highway Specialists we are proud to support Amanecer, and other organizations that provide assistance with mental health issues and hope our employees will take advantage of their services when the need arises .

EHS responds to DELDOT emergency

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.
