Road and Bridge crews worked all day on Wednesday, March 9, 2016, to repair a washed out culvert on County Road 419 in Northwestern Smith County, so residents could drive on the dead-end road to get in and out of their property. The road is only one lane right now but is drivable.

The following roads still have HIGH WATER over them. These roads are not closed but the Road and Bridge Department does not recommend driving over them at this time. They will not know the condition of the roads until the water subsides.
