                 Wise Eyes Alert-Weather Related Road Closures

                 Wise County was hit hard with rain and wind yesterday June 25th. Some areas around the county received as much as 5.3 inches of rain. With the amount of rain falling at such a fast pace there has been damage to the area roads causing road closures all over the county. This is a list of roads closed at this time and with the continued rainfall there may be additional roads closed as the rain falls. 

                The roads closed are: Fm 3259 between South FM 51and Paradise. The bridge North of Boyd, on FM 730 West of 114. CR 2622 one mile East of North FM 51 the bridge is out. CR  2845 by FM 730 North County Line. CR 4191 is closed.

             The following roads are passable but have high water running across them, CR 3250 Golaz Bridge is passable only in pickup trucks. CR 1590 Sandy Creek has had water over the road, CR 3386 and CR 3381 have had water running over them but the water has receded today.

            Always be cautious when there is water crossing a road, when the water is moving swiftly it will cause the road to wash out and cause dangerous areas in the roadway that cannot be seen until you drive your vehicle into it. If there is water crossing the road turnaround, don’t drown.

           We will try to keep the road closure updated as much as we can. If I have missed one please contact me so I can add any additional closures to the list.

 Be Safe & Sound in Wise County,
