BALTIMORE, Aug. I4.-Pre-
liminary work is under way on
the biggest road job in Mary
lands history-the $l43 million
tunnel under Baltimore Harbor.
The tunnel and its approaches
will provide q 15-minute one
stop route through the city-a
boon to through motorists who
have battled Baltimore's traffic
and narrow streets.
The tl1roughway will link the
Washington Baltimore Express
way on the South and Route 40.
An interchange at Routes Q and
301 will take on Annapolis traffic,
and other interchanges will pro-
vide access for city cars.
No Traffic Controls.
There will be no trafic con-
trolls, and the only limitations
on the motorists time will be the
States 50-mile-an-hour speed
limit and the one stop to pay the
toll. This is being estimated at
35 cents for passenger cars and
from As to rs cents for trucks.
The underwater part Of the
two-tube tunnel will stretch from
the Fairfield section on the
southwest to industrial Canton
on the northeast, with the toll
gates on the Fairfield side.
The tunnel itself is expected
to cost SAC, 472 900, with the re-
mainder going for planning,
financing, buying the right Of
way, engineering costs and build
ing of the approaches and in
terchanges.
Test borings. to bring UP sam
Piles of what the bed of the
Patapsco River is like at that
point, are being made. Engin-
GERS say it will take about six
months to complete and analyze
these.
Three Months For Plans.
Another three months will be
needed to draw the plans and
specifications, with the tunnel
building scheduled to begin next
June. Meantime. there is the
job of acquiring all or part of
300 pieces Of real estate along
the IA miles of right-of-way.
This also is under way, in the
hands of two Baltimore real es-
tate firms, and is expected to
take about six months to COM
plete. Some pieces of property
already have been bought. and
options have been taken on
others.

dock area. but Maryland State

the building will not interfere
with harbor activities.

Motorists Dream Of Quick Trip
Across Baltimore Coming True

haitian, will build the Baltimore
Harbor Tunnel.
They estimate its top capacity
at $4,000 vehicles a day and
about % million a year. There
have been no estimates of what
traffic load the tunnel win &C
tually carry.
It will have two east-bound
lanes in one tube, and two west
bound lanes in the other. Engi-
neers say 1t will be the largest
tunnel in the United States out
81 deNew York.
The job will be done in q
trench. Prefabricated sections,
weighing $4,000 tons each, will
be sunk into the trench and
Joined together. Ten feet Of har-
Dor floor will cover the tunnel,
which will be 95 feet below water
level.
Singstad & Baillie say they
can complete the tunnel work
in three years.
Route for the tunnel was
chosen after q battle between
the city and the State, q battle
won by the State following
lengthy hearings and meetings.
Favored Other Site.
The city, backed by the Steam
ship Trades Association, favored
a link between Fort McHenry
and Canton; north of the site
finally chosen. The city argued
that this route would be of more
help to city traffic, particularly
for trucks to and from the docks
and factories.
But under that plan, through
traffic still would have been re-
quired to use the aged Hanover
Street Bridge, a major bottleneck
for Baltimore traffic. The State
Roads Commission. supported by
Gov. McKeldin. stood firm in it's
plan for a route which would
provide a swift movement of
through traffic. Since the State
was paying for the job, the State
got to pick the route.
The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel
Is the fourth and final stage of
the States primary bridge pro-
gram. Toll income from the
States other major river cross
ings made its building possible.
1t was first proposed as tun-
mel by former Gov. William
Preston Lane, jr., in connection
with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Toll income from that bridge
and the others. along with tolls
from the tunnel, will be Jumped
together to pay for all of the
projects. The date for paying
them off and lifting the tolls is
set for 1870.
