Comal County approves engineering services for Jacobs Creek low-water crossing, eyes 2026 construction
Summary
The commissioners approved an engineering proposal from Scheib Consulting for the River Road low-water crossing at Jacobs Creek, with preliminary engineering cost cited as $299,000 and construction planned in 2026 to address repeated storm-related closures.
The court approved an engineering services proposal from Scheib Consulting, LLC to design improvements at the low-water crossing on River Road at Jacobs Creek. County staff said the crossing is prone to inundation during storms and previously trapped residents and law-enforcement personnel; the county moved funds to cover the $299,000 engineering scope and intends to construct the improvement in 2026.
County engineering noted preliminary work accounted for large vehicle alignment and existing cypress trees in the corridor. Commissioners said the project addresses public-safety access and is budgeted for construction in next year’s cycle. "This is the project that we budgeted in next year's budget to try to improve that low water crossing there on River Road," the judge said during discussion.
