FRED HARTMAN BRIDGE

The 'Fred Hartman Bridge' is a cable-stayed bridge in the U.S. state of Texas. It spans the Houston Ship Channel and carries State Highway 146 between the cities of Baytown, Texas and La Porte, Texas.
The bridge, named for Fred Hartman (1908-1991) the editor and publisher of The Baytown Sun from 1950 to 1974, is the longest cable-stayed bridge in Texas, and one of only two such bridges in the state. Construction cost of the bridge was $117,500,000.
The bridge replaced the Baytown Tunnel, which had to be removed when the Channel was deepened to 45 feet to accommodate larger ships.
The bridge has had trouble in the past with loosening cables due to water damage.
