A delay has been announced for the next phase of the Interstate 45 reconstruction project. The project, which is ongoing, has been pushed back by one week. Concerns from business operators are cited as the reason for the delay.

These concerns are related to traffic disruption, particularly during the final weeks of the peak tourism season on the island. Further information on the project and its revised timeline can be found in the Galveston County Daily News. The delay is expected to provide some relief to businesses that were worried about the impact of construction on their operations during this time.
