Police report road closures due to flooding

Laredo police reported multiple road closures Monday evening because of flooding, as heavy rain continued across Laredo and Webb County.

The department warned residents not to drive through flooded roadways and said it was monitoring conditions for further updates. Police also canceled all Tuesday 68-A vehicle inspections as a safety precaution.

Flood response

The closures were announced on Monday, June 15, after weather coverage earlier in the day said Webb County was already under a flood watch and that a flood warning was expected later in the week.

A later police update said the flooding had led to multiple street closures and that the department would continue watching conditions for changes.

Travel and service impacts

The road closures create an immediate safety risk for drivers in the area, especially where water covers streets or road conditions have changed quickly.

The canceled 68-A inspections add a separate disruption for residents and vehicle owners who had appointments scheduled for Tuesday.

What comes next

Officials were still monitoring the situation Monday evening, and additional closures could follow if rainfall continues.

The National Weather Service forecast for the area called for continued wet conditions, with heavy rain projected across South Texas and Webb County.

Residents should watch for updates from the Laredo Police Department and weather officials on reopenings, expanding flood warnings, and any changes to Tuesday services.
