RM 1431 in the Lago Vista area sustained significant damage to a bridge over Cow Creek and TxDOT says they hope to have it repaired and back open before school starts.

“That’s really pushing it, because that’s really a matter of weeks away. But we think we can get the bridge built in a matter of weeks, as opposed to drawing it out over a number of months, or even years, as a typical bridge would take,” said Brad Wheelis with TxDOT.
