BRIDGE -
Baytown, Texas The Fred Hartman Bridge is truly a magnificent engineering accomplishment, not to mention a beautiful visual structure, it gracefully carries commuters from the city of La Port to the city of Baytown. Two sets of steel-reinforced diamonds carry two separate bridge decks of Texas 146 to a height of 178 feet, keeping them away from the traffic of the busy seaport. The towers are each 440 feet tall, and the bridge itself is 1,250 feet long. Religiously guarded day and night by the US Coast Guard and the local police force, stopping on or near the bridge will result in a quick response and possible fine. |
