Senator Vandenberg urged action on Great Lakes ships bottleneck
Senta tor Vandenberg pressed for removal of bridge bottlenecks and fast tracking Great Lakes coal and oil carriers to New England and Middle Atlantic ports. A letter from John Bogert cited five unloading carriers and 17 oil tankers needed to move heating oil and coal, but bridges under the River and Harbor Act blocked navigation. Residents of 17 states suffer for months while the War Department delays and the city of Chicago lacks timely bridge completion.
