Drivers heading to Galveston will encounter changes on I-45 starting August 7. The roadwork will involve short-term closures of main lanes between FM 519 and Tiki Drive. A detour near Texas City will also be implemented as part of the construction project.

This detour is expected to be in place for approximately two years. Further information on the project, which aims to widen I-45 to eight lanes, is available from Houston Public Media. Details on the traffic changes and construction timeline can be found through this source.
