Summary
The Galveston Seawall is located in the City of Galveston and was constructed to reduce impacts to Galveston Island from storm surge. The beach located along the seaward section of the seawall has experienced severe erosion. The project will include beach nourishment along the seawall between 17th and 61st streets. Beach nourishment along this area will protect FM 3005 which serves as a hurricane evacuation route.
