Airport Study Is Stalled City Council Pushes for Bridge Over Ship Channel
Baytown City Council urged the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation to pursue a bridge across the Houston Ship Channel near the Baytown La Porte Tunnel. The measure, approved unanimously, calls for organized community support through the Chamber of Commerce. The council noted traffic growth and the belief that expanding the tunnel is not economical, favoring a channel crossing near the tunnel instead. The resolution also pressed for early right of way acquisition before development, while an airport study grant of 45000 from the FAA was tabled pending wording clarification.
