Key Takeaways
- At least 17 road closures were active across San Antonio on July 15, according to the Bexar Flood map cited by MySA.
- TxDOT reported high water at I-35 at Salado Creek, with the frontage road closed.
- An NWS flood watch remains in effect until 9 p.m. Thursday, July 16, across 22 counties.

Which San Antonio roads are closed right now?
Heavy rain overnight and into Wednesday morning caused flooding and prompted at least 17 road closures across San Antonio, according to MySA's July 15 report referencing the Bexar Flood map. Closures are spread across several parts of the city while rain continues to fall.
Flooding is also hitting highways. TxDOT reported high water at I-35 at Salado Creek, and the frontage road there is closed. For live conditions, drivers can check the Bexar Flood map and TxDOT's San Antonio incident page.
How long will the flood watch stay in effect?
A National Weather Service flood watch remains in effect until 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, for Bandera, Bexar, Blanco, Burnet, Comal, Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Gillespie, Hays, Kendall, Kerr, Kinney, Llano, Maverick, Medina, Real, Travis, Uvalde, Val Verde, Williamson, and Zavala counties, MySA reported.
That timeline matters because KENS 5's live updates headline warns that flooded roads continue to disrupt travel even after the initial burst of heavy storms. More rainfall on saturated ground can reactivate closures with little warning.
Why are Northwest Side homeowners still worried?
KSAT visited Dhaka View near Grissom Road, where residents spent Monday, July 13, cleaning up weekend flood damage. Homeowners told KSAT the street has flooded repeatedly, including an incident the station covered in June 2025.
Military veteran Jonathan Clemente said he worries he cannot sleep as more rain is forecast over the next four days. He had just replaced furniture, including a dining table and refrigerator, before water invaded his home again.
Neighbor Miguel Simmons blamed a nearby creek and said the City of San Antonio told KSAT it regraded a channel on Dhaka View and Heath Circle in summer 2025 and is monitoring the area. A Lower French Creek drainage project tied to a $13 million bond is slated to begin in mid-to-late 2027.
What should commuters do before they leave home?
Check the Bexar Flood map and TxDOT alerts before heading out, especially if your route crosses Salado Creek or other low-water crossings. Conditions can change quickly when additional showers move through on July 15.
Residents far from the highway closures still feel the squeeze. KSAT's Northwest Side reporting shows how neighborhood flooding can spill into commutes, school runs, and property repairs even when main arterials reopen.
