Sidney Sherman Bridge
The Sidney Sherman Bridge is a strutted girder bridge in Houston, Texas. It spans the Houston Ship Channel (Buffalo Bayou) and carries the East Loop segment of Interstate 610 on the east side of the city. It is more popularly known as the ''610 Bridge'' or ''The Ship Channel Bridge.''
==History==
Construction on the bridge was on the planning boards by the Texas Department of Transportation dating as far back as 1962. Originally planned with a 400 foot (120 m) mainspan, it was rejected by the Army Corps of Engineers for fear that the narrow mainspan was a hazard to ships on the Ship Channel. So a 600 foot (180 m) mainspan was in the plans instead, and the Army Corps approved of the design. Construction on the bridge started in 1969, and was opened to traffic on March 2, 1973 (along with the East Loop of I-610). Just a year before, the National Society of Professional Engineers named the new bridge one of the top ten outstanding engineering achievements in the nation. In 1974, it was renamed the ''Sidney Sherman Bridge'' after Sidney Sherman who led the Texas Revolution and took part in making the Houston Ship Channel good for navigation.
