Default Galveston Info

We are planning on going in the spring and wondering if the ferry is open and if roads are fairly nail free. If there is a link to info please post.
Thanks

Both ferry's are running (had 1 running yesterday since the other was undergoing a coast gaurd inspection.

1/2 the stores on the strand are open somewhat.....had a good turnout for Mardi-Gras....not the biggest but more people than what they thought. Lot of construction going on...mainly in the housing areas.....seawall and other major roads are good to ride on.

This is a great link for Texas road conditions,

http://www.txdot.gov/travel/road_conditions.htm

Roll-over pass was closed (bridge out) last time I heard so you may not be able to go all the way to High Island on 87.
Anybody been down that way lately?
