The Texas Department of Transportation reported on Tuesday morning that FM 1053 is still closed to through traffic between FM 11 and FM 1450 south of Imperial.

Heavy rains caused large cracks in the surface of the road beginning on Saturday evening. Local traffic will still have access, but no traffic is allowed to pass by the subsidence about 6 miles south of Imperial.

Crews are currently working on repairs, but there is no timeline for reopening as of now. Please do not move barricades; that is a criminal offense.
