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.
