CR 201 & NAVIGABLE WATERWAY (CANAL) PLANNED CLOSURE
Bridge Closure Announcement -
The DCCCLOA has been notified by the Commissioner’s office that the 2nd canal bridge on CR 201, Carancahua, has a scheduled closing date, starting 09/05/2023 and lasting approximately two to three months. The closing is to perform the needed replacement of the bridge.
The DCCCLOA has been notified by the Commissioner’s office that the 2nd canal bridge on CR 201, Carancahua, has a scheduled closing date, starting 09/05/2023 and lasting approximately two to three months. The closing is to perform the needed replacement of the bridge.
The closing will prevent road and canal traffic for the duration of the replacement, so alternate means of travel and access will be required. Road access to the area from the north along CR 298 will be available to road traffic. Boat access from north of the bridge will be cut off to the ICW, so owner’s/users are encouraged to seek alternate means for access to bigger water.
Please share this information far and wide to help inform everyone of the scheduled improvements! Any further details will be shared as we know it.
Questions should be directed toward the Commissioner’s office.

CR 201 PLANNED & NAVIGABLE WATERWAY (CANAL) PLANNED CLOSURE
Posted on Aug 10th, 2023
Matagorda County Pct 2 Commissioner, Mike Estlinbaum
ANNOUNCEMENT: The day has finally come. Years and years in the works. I had to scrap the original plan and start over. But the day has come. The second bridge on CR 201 in Sargent will be demolished on September 5th (the day after Labor Day). This would not be possible without the help of Drainage District #1. They have stepped up big time! This will cause major traffic issues for a lot of people for 2 or 3 months while this project takes place. All boats that go under that bridge will need to be out before the 5th or they are stuck there until the construction of the new bridge is completed. Please help spread the word. There will be more updates on this as we go forward but I’m confident enough in this date to put it out there. More info to come in the coming days.
Be a Good Neighbor - Adhere to Deed Restrictions
Posted on Jun 26th, 2023
The DCCCLOA Deed Restrictions were put in place to create a minimum standard and to help ensure that owners are mindful and respectful of the greater community. Please do your part by keeping your lot/s in compliance and by paying your annual maintenance fees each August.

Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
Posted on Feb 7th, 2022
We thought owners would be interested in reading the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance that was adopted by the Matagorda County Commissioners in December 2020. Its stated purpose is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in flood prone areas. This ordinance particularly applies to new construction and structures being substantially improved (damage or repairs exceed 50% of the market value of the structure). Section F(9) deals with Recreational Vehicles in coastal high hazard areas, of which the DCCCLOA is a part of and specifically mentioned.
