Northbound lane closures on I-45 scheduled for this week

Motorists traveling from the UTMB Galveston Campus and other island sites may want to allow extra time for commutes starting Tuesday, as additional highway work on IH-45 may create slowdowns.

TX-DOT will close TWO NORTHBOUND lanes of IH-45 Gulf Freeway from the Galveston Causeway bridge/Tiki Island to FM 519 in La Marque, for road resurfacing/asphalt repairs. Weather permitting, two alternating lanes will be closed daily from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., until Saturday, Jan. 13.   

Please drive safely and check current conditions online before you head to your destination, at https://www.utmb.edu/public-alert/i-45-traffic or on your preferred traffic app.
