Subject: Fred Hartman Bridge
The Baytown Tunnel to La Porte was opened in 1953 was removed in 1997
to allow deepening and widening of the Houston Ship Channel and it
was replaced by the Fred Hartman Bridge. At 35' diameter by 1,041'
length it was the largest tunnel removed without closing the Channel.
It was replaced by this innovative eight-lane, twin-tower, cable-stayed
Fred Hartman Bridge. - Ken
