Roadway Infrastructure & Accessibility

Interstate 45 (I-45)

Interstate 45 (I-45) is the primary north–south transportation corridor serving Galveston County, connecting Dallas, Houston, and Galveston Island.

Hitchcock benefits from convenient access to I-45 via multiple nearby connections, including:

• State Highway 6 (SH 6)
• FM 519
• Delany Road
• FM 2004

At its closest point, the City of Hitchcock is located approximately 2 miles from I-45, providing efficient regional and statewide connectivity for residents, businesses, and freight movement.

State Highway 6 (SH 6)

State Highway 6, historically known as the Old Galveston Highway, extends from the Texas–Oklahoma border to Galveston County.

In the local area, SH 6 diverges from I-45 in Bayou Vista and runs northwest to southeast through:

• Hitchcock
• Santa Fe

It continues northward through the Houston region, connecting to Interstate 10 and key commercial corridors in West Houston, making it an important route for both local and regional travel.

Farm-to-Market Road 2004 (FM 2004)

FM 2004 is a key transportation corridor linking Hitchcock and Galveston County to Port Freeport, providing access to three major port systems in the region.

This corridor is rapidly developing into a hub for:

• Industrial facilities
• Logistics operations
• Warehousing and distribution

FM 2004 also provides direct access to Interstate 45 via the City of La Marque, passing beneath the interstate and continuing into Texas City, enhancing freight mobility and regional access.

Delany Road

Delany Road serves as an important local connector between State Highway 6 and Interstate 45.

• Two lanes within the City of Hitchcock
• Four lanes within the City of La Marque

This roadway provides a critical link for local traffic, commuters, and commercial vehicles traveling between major highways.

Farm-to-Market Road 519 (FM 519)

FM 519, locally known as Main Street in Hitchcock, is a central corridor connecting the community to surrounding areas.

It provides direct connections to:

• State Highway 6
• Interstate 45 (via La Marque)

FM 519 plays a vital role in supporting local commerce, residential access, and regional connectivity.
