Rockwall County Closes Stevens Road Section Due to Culvert, Roadway Damage

A section of the 2300 block of Stevens Road has been closed after damage to the roadway and an associated culvert prompted the Rockwall County Road and Bridge Department to issue a temporary lane-closure advisory on March 6, 2026.

The affected stretch sits approximately 800 feet east of Ridge Hollow Road. The department placed message boards in the area to alert drivers approaching the closure, and barricades have been installed at the site. "Barricades will stay in place for the next couple of days to allow the asphalt to cure properly," the department stated in a subsequent update to the advisory.

Repairs are tied to weather. "The department will monitor the situation over the weekend and will initiate repairs as soon as weather conditions permit," the advisory reads. No reopening date has been announced beyond the general timeframe tied to barricade removal and weather conditions.

Contractor crews have been brought in to handle the work, and their coordination extends to public safety agencies. According to the department, "contractor crews will work with EMS, fire, and police to allow access through the closure should emergencies occur," ensuring that emergency responders can reach properties on or near the affected stretch despite the lane restrictions.

No alternate detour routes were specified in the advisory, and no injuries or vehicle incidents were reported in connection with the damage. The department has urged anyone traveling near the 2300 block of Stevens Road to exercise caution in the area.
