Bayou Bay Navigation District Feasibility Notes 1958

A Baytown resolution discusses Bay Town Navigation District extending 2500 feet each side of the bayou from mouth to Highway 146 bridge with the Bayou Now route averaging 15 feet depth. It highlights diminishing ship channel space, potential Cedar Bayou industrial expansion for military benefit, and the need for higher clearance bridges to avoid future port and regional relief issues. Herrig County spending $34,736 in early 1958 is cited as a benchmark for feasible high clearance bridges.
