Baltimore civic groups urge cheaper bridge over harbor
Two groups, the Greater Baltimore Committee and the Chamber of Commerce, propose canceling the 110 million Outer Harbor Tunnel in favor of a 190 million bridge near Baltimore harbor. The plan would tie into Interstate 95 and is backed by Gov. Mandel, who named a transportation task force to study the report. The advisory urged Mayor D Alesandro to accelerate a Fort McHenry bypass bridge project or risk losing 90 percent federal aid.
