The J.D. Eckman team shines the brightest when the stakes are high. On August 5th, our crew was able to set all beams and install the overhang falsework and shielding during a five-hour planned shutdown of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension on our Tilghman Street Bridge project in Lehigh County. This work represents Stage 2, which focuses on one of the two spans on this bridge. The centerpiece of this operation was a 700-ton Liebherr LTM 1650 Crane with 92-foot luffing jib from Sautter Crane Rental, Inc. #JDEckmanBridge

With J.D Eckman's skilled operators behind the controls, these machines get the job done! The John Deere 470 P-Tier Excavator was impressive at our customer site visit, handling rock and boulders with ease to clear the way for future highway expansion. Meanwhile, operators received expert training on the John Deere 670 P-Tier Excavator from our Certified Dealer Instructor, Jay Cole, and Product & Technical Specialist, Greg Grimes.

Our payroll manager Jessica Cook and her husband Bill sent Emerson off to the first day of second grade this morning. We're happy to report that her goal is to follow in her mother's footsteps someday. #BacktoSchool

If you've driven through any of our Pennsylvania work zones in the past 17 years, there's a very good chance J.D. Eckman's own Jon McCormick was behind the message and arrow boards that directed you. Although bittersweet, we recently gathered to celebrate his pending retirement. As J.D. Eckman expanded, Jon managed the growth well. We don't have exact counts on the arrow boards, but we had 68 message boards when Jon was hired and over 200 today. We wish Jon well in his next stage of life. He will be missed. #JDEckmanTeam

It took J.D. Eckman crews just over two months to complete emergency repairs on the Route 6 Bridge in Bradford County. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll announced that the bridge would open to traffic on August 20th at yesterday's press conference. Restoring traffic flow after a shutdown is about as good as it gets for us. https://lnkd.in/eVu36R7E. #JDEckmanBridge

If you get out the site early enough, you just might experience the rare sight of a J.D. Eckman machine sitting idle. Our own Gary Smalls captured our Caterpillar 335 F Excavator in the early morning hours before work geared up at the Route 222/Route 30 Interchange project in Lancaster County. #JDEckmanEquipment
