Motorists traveling northbound on I-45 in Galveston  this weekend may expect delays and detours, as work in La Marque will close the frontage road and two northbound main lanes beginning Friday night, Feb. 16. 

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, construction crews will close two northbound lanes of the highway and the adjacent frontage road at Delany Rd. in La Marque beginning on Friday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. to construct the new at-grade Delany Rd. intersection and I-45 bridge. The lanes will remain closed until 5 a.m. Monday morning, Feb. 19. Construction on the overall project will take at least seven months.

The weekend's work could affect access to urgent care at UTMB's Primary and Specialty Care Clinic in Texas City.  Expect delays, find alternate routes when possible, 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.
