Trinity Navigation Project Action Sought In Washington
Texas lawmakers pressed for end to delay on the Trinity River barge canal after a restudy raised the economic yield to 1.50 for each dollar invested. Senators Yarborough and Tower allies urged swift federal approval amid budget-cutting concerns and pending House action on related funds. The project would connect the Gulf of Mexico to Dallas and Fort Worth with 23 locks and a 150 foot wide, 12 foot deep canal, serving Texas and national interests.
