Work To Begin On Post Road Blanco River Bridge, Post Road Closed At Bridge For Duration 

Work to begin on Post Road Blanco River Bridge, Post Road closed at bridge for the construction duration.

Hays County Courthouse, TX – Work is set to begin July 24 to replace the temporary bridge on Post Road at the Blanco River.

The bridge was destroyed by the May 2015 Memorial Weekend flood, and an innovative temporary bridge was installed by using a railroad flatbed car as the main, one-lane crossing. The new bridge will include two lanes (one in each direction) and four-foot shoulders.

Motorists should plan on using alternative routes if they need to cross the Blanco River between Kyle and San Marcos or travel to Five Mile Dam parks and soccer fields from the south on Post Road. The work is expected to take about seven months.

TxDOT is funding the project as part of its off-system bridge program.
