  • CH7 Bridges and Tunnels Pp340
    Bridges and Tunnels Fifty miles inland, on a flat plain drained by small bayous, Houston in its early days did not seem destined to become a city of bridges. There were no rivers to cross and no nearby bays or lakes to block the city’s growth. Although Houston was free of impediments, the addition of a man-made barrier would be the event that propelled Houston into the ranks of the nation’s largest cities. Dredging of the Houston Ship Channel to a depth of 25 feet (7.6 m) was completed in June 1914, and the channel was officially opened by President Woodrow Wilson on November 10 of that year. The rest, one might say, is history, as the ship channel spurred Houston’s industrial boom. The construction of one great work of infrastructure, the Houston Ship Channel, would ultimately necessitate other construction projects to bridge the man-made divide. Houston would not become a great bridge city on the order of New York City or San Francisco, but would still develop a nice collection of bridges and tunnels to complement its freeway system. In comparison to most cities in the United States, Houston’s major bridge crossings are a relatively modern development, with the first high-level bridge span opening in 1973. With newness comes better design and wider spans, but as this history shows, Houston’s bridges have all had their share of problems. The complete history of Houston’s bridges, however, predates the construction of the modern Houston Ship Channel. While Houston was still a mosquito-infested outpost on Buffalo Bayou, one of the nation’s more prosperous cities was thriving just 50 miles (80 km) to the south—on Galveston Island.

  • The Fred Hartman Bridge
    1996 MERIT BRIDGE AWARD: LONG SPAN THE FRED HARTMAN BRIDGE THE FRED HARTMAN BRIDGE OVER THE HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL, with a total length of 2,475’, is currently the second largest cable-stayed bridge in terms of overall deck area. The bridge connects Loop 201 in Baytown with Texas Route 225 in LaPorte—a distance of about 2.5 miles—and replaces the obsolete Baytown tunnel, which opened in 1953. The bridge is particularly noteworthy for its “double-diamond” tower configu- ration which was designed to resist hur- ricane-force winds. The tower resists transverse loadings through truss action, thereby allowing the very slen- der 7’ leg width since there is virtually no transverse bending. The main span unit consists of a five- span structure, comprising three cable- stayed spans of 482’, 1,250’ and 482’, and two simple-span flanking units at 130’-6” each. The three-span cable- stayed portion is constructed with a composite steel superstructure. The typical section consists of two independent roadways, each approxi- mately 78’ wide, which carry four lanes of traffic with full shoulders. The superstructure framing system is very straightforward. It utilizes an 8”- thick reinforced concrete slab supported by transverse floor beams, which are spaced approximately 16’ apart. The floor beams frame into main girders, which are located along the outside edge of the section. The resulting steel grid is composite in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. A 4” reinforced Judges concrete wearing surface is placed over the 8” structural slab. Comments: A steel anchor box assembly provides the stay cable anchorage to the main girder.
