Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge, Toll bridge in Havre de Grace, United States.
Description
The Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge is a toll bridge that spans the Susquehanna River, connecting Havre de Grace to Perryville with four traffic lanes. The steel structure allows ships to pass underneath with adequate clearance while serving thousands of daily travelers.
History
Construction of this steel bridge began in 1939 and was completed in 1940, replacing an earlier double-decker structure. The new crossing modernized river traffic and improved connections between the two communities.
