San Antonio, TX, September 30, 2026 —
TxDOT crews in the San Antonio area are undertaking preparations to mitigate the impacts of anticipated heavy rainfall. The agency is responding to weather forecasts indicating significant rain expected to begin Wednesday evening and continue through Friday.
To ensure public safety and maintain traffic flow, TxDOT maintenance crews are actively inspecting the region’s roadways. Key activities involve examining drainage systems to ensure they are clear and functional, removing debris that could obstruct water flow, and strategically placing barricades and warning signs in areas historically prone to flooding.
In anticipation of the severe weather, the Texas Department of Transportation has also activated its Emergency Operations Center. This activation allows for coordinated monitoring and response efforts. Additionally, TxDOT is placing maintenance crews and its Highway Emergency Response Operation (HERO) trucks on standby. These resources are designated to provide assistance to stranded motorists and to help monitor road conditions across the San Antonio area throughout the expected period of heavy precipitation.
