FM 1585, TEXAS — Water over the roadway has prompted a major traffic alert along FM 1585 in both eastbound and westbound directions. The impacted area extends between mile markers 278 and 280, approximately one mile east of FM 168, significantly disrupting through traffic.
TxDOT personnel are monitoring the flooded section and assessing roadway safety. Although no official detour has been established and traffic delays currently remain minimal, navigating standing water poses severe hazards for commercial trucks and passenger vehicles alike.
Clearance crews estimate conditions may not fully normalize until approximately 12:00 PM on Saturday, October 31, 2026. This timeline remains subject to weather changes and subsequent roadway safety inspections.
Motorists and freight dispatchers are urged to reroute around this stretch of FM 1585 and avoid driving through submerged roadways. We will update this report as TxDOT provides new information.
