5 /5 Melissa Kemper: Approaching the bridge off the Gand Parkway was one of the most spectacular sights! It looked as if the bridge was on fire! I was driving so I couldnt get a good picture, but I will plan ahead next time.

5 /5 LORETA KOVACIC: This is the most beautiful bridge I have ever seen. I have been living in Houston for over 30 years and I just discovered it yesterday…. It’s a must see! ❤️

5 /5 Bruce K.: The Hartman is a cable-stayed bridge. Ive crossed several of these including the Ravenel in Charleston and the Margaret Hunt Hill in Dallas and the Sunshine Skyway in Tampa and the Tappan Zee in New York and the Zakim in Boston. Beautiful and cleverly designed, this bridge spans the Houston Ship Channel and joins Baytown and La Porte. It is named for the editor of the Baytown Sun, a local newspaper from 1950 to 1974. It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in Texas. The bridge replaces the Baytown Tunnel that was removed in 1999. There is no toll to cross the bridge. Fun to cross in heavy fog but it all worked out just fine.
