The Galveston County Daily News reports the $3.4 million project will be funded with federal stimulus dollars.
Ike swamped parts of Galveston on Sept. 13, 2008. The surge reached FM 3005 the day before the storm made landfall.
The Texas Department of Transportation will begin accepting bids Sept. 9. Agency spokeswoman Karen Othon had no timetable for when the project would be finished.
The upgrade will run from the San Luis Pass Toll Bridge to the end of Galveston's famed seawall.
