The ongoing construction on the Gulf Freeway has been slowing drivers down for years, and bumper-to-bumper traffic heading to the beach is no fun.
Folks in Texas City are certainly feeling the construction headaches with the work on FM-1764 as the Texas Department of Transportation works on tearing down the bridge structures over Interstate 45.
“...we have multiple 45 projects, all throughout the corridor, that’s going to be from the Harris county Galveston County line, all the way down to the causeway, so what we’re doing, is expanding 45 in multiple sections,” Danny Perez, Texas Department of Transportation. Last month, marked a major milestone with the demolition of the existing I-45 Gulf Freeway northbound main lanes over FM 1764. This work is being done so they can build a new bridge to allow FM-1764 to continue under the main lanes of I-45.“...we’re continuing the progress, we’re building out the structures that used to go over the main lanes of 45 --now they’ll go under 45,” Danny Perez, Texas Department of Transportation.
