Purpose:

The purpose of the public meeting is to gather public input on the proposed reconstruction and widening of I-45 from FM 1764 to North of the Galveston Causeway Bridge, in Galveston County, Texas. The meeting will be an open house format so citizens may come and go at their convenience, and staff will be available to answer questions.

Description:

Proposed improvements include the following:

  • Reconstructing and widening the existing six-lane interstate to an eight-lane interstate
  • Reconstructing frontage roads
  • Constructing detention ponds
  • Constructing bicycle and pedestrian accommodations

The purpose of the proposed project would be to accommodate future traffic, reduce congestion, improve hurricane evacuation, and improve safety. Approximately 19.7 additional acres of right of way would be required, resulting in three potential commercial displacements

Please be aware that advance notice is requested as some accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange.
