The Fred Hartman Bridge in Baytown, Texas. The cable-stayed bridge, spanning the Houston Ship Channel, carries 2.6 miles (4 km) of State Highway 146 between Baytown and La Porte, Texas, east of Houston. Named for Fred Hartman (1908â € “1991), the editor and publisher of the "Baytown Sun" newspaper, from 1950 to 1974, is (as of this photograph in 2012) the longest cable-stayed bridge in Texasand one of only three such bridges in the state. The bridge replaced the Baytown Tunnel, which had to be removed when the Houston Ship Channel was deepened to 45 feet to accommodate larger ships. The last section of the Baytown Tunnel was removed from the Houston Ship Channel on September 14, 1999.
