Communication from UTMB Health

July 18-22: Lane closure scheduled for IH-45 southbound

TXDOT announced a lane closure for next week on IH-45 southbound near Tiki Island, on the approach to the Galveston Causeway.

Beginning Monday, July 18  until Friday, July 22, one outside southbound lane will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

The work will center on the BNSF railroad overpass. The work is being scheduled to reduce the impact to morning commuters heading to the island; two lanes southbound will remain open during the construction.  

Remember schedules can change. Please check road and traffic conditions when headed to or leaving the Galveston campus, and allow additional time as necessary.
