Note the preposition "on" instead of "over" in the title. They got tired of rebuilding the bridge so they now they just allow the river to go over the road.
July 4, 2025, Flood
A bunch of thunderstorms trained over Central Texas on the morning of July 4, 2025, causing flash floods that killed at over 100 people. The Llano River also got lots of water. This water will dump into the Colorado River and then LBJ Lake. See Roy B. Inks Bridge for another view of the impact of this flood on the Llano River.
The timestamp in the upper-left corner indicates that just a half-hour elapsed from the beginning to the cars leaving the scene. Another posting of this video indicated that the speedup was 100x.

| Meteorologist Noah Bergren posted 0:30 video Horrible... Timelapse video of the Llano River in Texas from the deadly flash flood... is located about 75 miles northeast of Kerrville where 30+ lives were lost from the Friday floods. WATCH how fast it changes... 📸: Robert Ivey |
I think this is at the same bridge.

Neither video bothered to give location information. I encountered an "after" photo for Slab Road. And this comment allowed me to determine the location of the crossing.

This post had some informative comments.

| Llano County News Wire posted Kingsland Slab 7/9 Katy Richards: Wow...half the road has washed away! Kelli Baugh Tudyk: Katy Richards that is not true. The road is still there. That’s just debris and dirt that was washed on it. The reason they have it shut down is there is still water running over the road. Lora Strang: I think they need to make a little overpass and leave the slab for fun goers in the summer. Jennifer McKague: Lora Strang my understanding there used to be a road over it that washed away a couple of times so they decided to just leave it a low water crossing like this. [Lots of debate in the comments if the road needs some repairs.] |
As I write this on Jul 10, 2025, the road is still closed.

There is at least one culvert.

I looked at all five available street views, and the road was dry in all of them.

I looked at several Global Earth images, and this was about the wettest I found.
