Howard Street Tunnel In Baltimore

Read the article the other day.   Some of the web site comments are interesting.  "Baltimore is a dump and should just be allowed to become a ghost town."  is kind of funny as there are mega-buck condos stretching from the touristy Inner Harbor almost to the gritty freight terminal.  I was wondering how long until the new citizenry calls for the relocation of those dirty, smelly, noisy ships.

Interesting artical. I do remember the fire in 2001.

I wonder where they would reroute the tunnel. It doesn't sound like the existing site has any room to expand.

Isn't the old Pennsy tunnel, east of Baltimore Penn Station, that now Amtrak uses restricted by its dimensions, too?

Baltimore is not the Power House of industry and National Commerce and Industry as it once was and is essentially going to see many challenges and costs trying to get these ships in.

What gets me is we would like to see these ships come in and bring in Overseas products made by other Nations that was once produced and used right here in Baltimore and other places by our own Citizens who also immigrated here (Number 2 port other than Ellis).

How ironic. A city built on work/war efforts now converted to monthly rent and wants to make room for overseas commerce on the ruins of a dead industry base.

It will be easier to simply build a entirely new facility south of the Bay Bridge and move the megaships there. Cheaper too.

I can make a much larger essay and go on being from there, but leave it to say there will be plenty, perhaps too much of; talk and much energy expended on both sides of this issue before the first shovel is dug on the so called project.

Where is there a deep-water harbor south of the bay bridge other than tidewater Virginia?   Of course Maryland won't have any part of that.
