Alternate route to Galveston other than Hyw 45

[39august]

We are driving to Galveston this coming Saturday from OKC. We are concerned about possible closings due to flooding. Just read that a bridge on 45 near the Woodlands is currently closed and more rain is coming. Would a reasonable alternative be to take hwy 105 from Conrow to hwy 59 south to 635 if necessary?

Saturday, April 23.

45 should be fine by then.

No more rain predicted after Thursday

You will be better off staying on 45 all the way.

It shows all the road closures, deviations, delays etc. Simply zoom into the area you interested to take a closer look.

Flood waters in the Houston area are receding. I-45S is open all the way to Galveston. There is freeway construction beginning at FM:2351 to NASA 1. Depending on your travel time, expect traffic to slow down a bit in that area.
