U S Steel Docks May Be On South Side of Bayou
Houston port officials discuss U S Steel docks possibly relocating to the south side of Cedar Bayou in Chambers County to avoid crossing Bayou traffic. Pruett says U S Steel hasn’t requested a Harris County Navigation District permit and that the company would fund the channel, with maintenance by the Army Corps of Engineers. Barge traffic could reach Highway 146, and a dredged bayou might extend to Interstate 10.
