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
