Ehler Road is a county maintained road from Highway 27 to just south of the Guadalupe River. The bridge is a very lower water bridge that is county maintained and listed on the TxDot off system bridge list. The bridge was classiifed as a priority "two" candidate for replacement. As I understand it that means TxDot is aware that it needs to be replaced, but it is not scheduled for replacement. Two property owners on the south side of the Guadalupe access their property by the bridge. It is there only access. One of the property owners wants to limit public access across the bridge and has documentation that this is a private bridge. The bridge is so low it has not been passable for over a month and likely will not be passable for at least several weeks due to recent rains. This presents a safety issue from people trying to cross the flooded bridge. As a temporary solution I recommend the Commissioners Court temporarily limit public access by closing a gate across Ehler Road on the north side of the river. This will solve the current safety concern and allow TxDot and the county time to review the documentation about the public / private status of the bridge.
