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.
