Houston Residents?

[BOOFER9]

I am going to Galveston for a cruise Jan.21 coming from Louisiana

on I-10; my question is would it be quicker to take the Boliver

ferry to Galvestion or go through Houston? Thanks in advance.

I'd vote for the ferry, not only closer & quicker, but more fun (just watch for winter fog)

Yep! I would call the Texas Highway Dept because the road that runs along the coast was washed out several years ago and I am not sure if it was ever repaired. The area from Winnie to Beaumont took some heavy surf and waves during tropical storm Allison. I do know that you can exit of f I-10 at the Anahuac exit and go south to get to the coast road.

It's apparently up and running, but expect long delays in heavy traffic and rough weather conditions.
