Drivers heading to Galveston will encounter changes on I-45 starting August 8. The roadwork will involve short-term closures of main lanes between FM 519 and Tiki Drive. A detour near La Marque and Texas City will also be implemented, remaining in place for two years.

This traffic alteration is part of a larger project to expand I-45. Further details on the project and traffic changes can be found through Houston Public Media, providing more information for those planning to travel to Galveston.
