· Texas Border Business
The Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDOT) has closed several off-ramps on the eastbound Interstate 2 (I-2) frontage road in Weslaco and Mercedes due to severe weather and localized flooding. Heavy rain caused significant water accumulation, stranding some drivers. TxDOT crews are on-site managing traffic and assessing safety. With more rain expected, they are monitoring conditions and may implement further closures if necessary. Motorists are reminded to respect barricades, avoid driving through flooded areas, and limit non-essential travel. For real-time updates on road conditions, visit DriveTexas.org.
