Baltimore Harbor Tunnel
Baltimore Harbor Tunnel is 50
By Peter Samuel on November 30, 2007
The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel opened for traffic 50 years ago on Nov 29 and the event was hailed up adn down the east coast as the "Baltimore bottleneck unplugged." Motorists traveling from Philadelphia or New York to the national capital would no longer have to endure dozens of traffic signals on US1/US40 through the city - 51 by one count.
A journey of 45 minutes to an hour through the city was reduced to 20 minutes.
