Bolivar Peninsula Open to Public

Galveston County officials say the Bolivar Peninsula will now be open to everyone.  They will no longer utilize a checkpoint at the Rollover Pass Bridge and the vacate order for the peninsula has been lifted.

Major Ray Tuttoilmondo says there will still be a curfew in effect from 10 P.M. to 6 A.M.

Rollover Pass will have one lane open, as the Texas Department of Transportation continues to work on the westbound lane that was washed our by hurricane Ike.  TXDot still hopes to have the bridge finished in about two weeks.

Major Tuttoilmondo asks visitors of the peninsula to be careful, Highway 87 still has problems with rain and tide water washing onto the lanes from High Island to the bridge.
