Motorists traveling from the UTMB Galveston Campus and other island sites Saturday night and Sunday morning will want to allow extra time for commutes, as highway work on I-45 may create slowdowns this weekend.

On Saturday, Dec. 2, Tx-DOT shared that work will close two NORTHBOUND lanes of IH-45 Gulf Freeway from the Galveston Causeway bridge/Tiki Island to Bayou Vista (SH-6/SH-146 in La Marque). Two inside lane will be closed.  

The closures are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Saturday and end by 5 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 3.
