Local businesses are seeking a delay in the I-45 construction project. The Galveston Restaurant Group has requested that the Texas Department of Transportation postpone the next phase of the project. The reason for the request is to minimize the impact on businesses during the peak tourism season.

The group is concerned about the effects of the construction on their operations during this time. Further details about the request and the construction project are available from the Galveston County Daily News. The request is specifically for a delay until after Labor Day, but additional information about the project's timeline and potential outcomes is not provided here.
