\nThe Rollover Pass manmade channel along the Gulf of Mexico will close this month due to erosion concerns after more than 60 years as a popular Texas fishing and tourism spot.<\/p>\n

\nThe Texas General Land Office on Monday announced a $7.4 million contract with Brizo Construction. Fencing should be installed by the end of September and work is expected to be completed by April.<\/p>\n

\nRollover Pass on Bolivar (BAH’-lee-vur) Peninsula, near Galveston, opened in 1955 as a dredging project to improve water quality and salinity and help with fish migration.<\/p>\n

\nThe 2009 Texas Legislature authorized closing Rollover Pass amid erosion and environmental damage. The project was delayed several years following opposition by some sports and fishing groups, plus rising costs.<\/p>\n

\nThe updated site is expected to include a park and fishing area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
