I-45 construction and closures

[DannyMac]

If you are planning a cruise out of Galveston, please take into account freeway construction and closures on I-45. You can go to www.transtar.com for current road conditions. There are several freeway construction projects ongoing plus construction at Bush (IAH) airport.

TXDOT  has an interactive map that you can navigate through and interact with live feedback.

Unless there is a typo, that site you mention for transtar is a real estate investment company - nothing there about road conditions. Perhaps I've overlooked it?

Thank you for this.  Is there construction normally taking place on Sundays?  If yes, how much of a delay should one typically expect - ie add 1hr to the drive to IAH - would it get worse than that?

There hasn't been a construction delay more than five minutes in 2024. The southbound portion is open down to exit 17. I drive this three times a week to UTMB and have zero problems. Summer and spring break weeks are busy after noon, but those are the exceptions.
 Rarely are the northbound lanes down to two, and that's overnight.

We've been driving to/from Galveston for several years now.  There is always construction somewhere.  This is nothing new. But thanks for the links - always good to have!
