High water has prompted the closure of U.S. Highway 69 in both directions. The closure is at the intersection with FM 1003, where barricades are being placed to divert traffic. Motorists are advised to seek an alternate route due to the high water levels.

The closure was made at the request of the Department of Public Safety. Further details about the closure and any updates on the road conditions are available from the source.

The affected area is north of Kountze in Hardin County, where the highway is closed southbound and northbound.
