Boddeker Road, which runs along the ship channel out to East Beach, will be closed beginning today as crews clean up debris and sand that washed over the road during Hurricane Laura.
The clean up is expected to take about a week, with the road opening again before Labor Day weekend. While Hurricane Laura did not cause significant wind or storm damage to many properties in Galveston, beaches and dunes in the area and especially on the island’s west end shifted and blanketed some roadways with sand.
