Cape Cod Canal Project Drives Great Debate
A long article details the push to build a Cape Cod Canal as part of a nationwide move to ease coastwise and inland traffic. It cites freight congestion, Roosevelt’s support, and plans by Belmont and Flanagan with Parsons and McDonald directing construction. The project aims to start with dredges, deepen the route from Buzzards Bay to Gray Gables, and connect to Barnstable Bay, with a bridge for the New Haven line and a harbor at the eastern end.
