Key takeaway Highway 90 in Uvalde County are closed Thursday morning due to flooding.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The closure of US Highway 90 in Uvalde County due to flooding has significant implications for San Antonio residents who frequently travel to the Hill Country. With major highways and streets closed, commuters and travelers will need to plan alternative routes, which could lead to increased traffic on other roads. This, in turn, may affect traffic flow in San Antonio, particularly during rush hour. The situation also highlights the importance of the HALT system in Bexar County, which provides real-time information on low-water crossings, helping drivers make informed decisions about their routes. As the weather continues to impact the region, San Antonio residents should stay informed about road conditions through resources like BEXARflood.org and the KSAT 12 Weather app to ensure their safety on the roads. By being aware of the road closures and flooding in surrounding counties, residents can take necessary precautions to avoid hazardous travel conditions.
