SAN ANTONIO – A multimillion-dollar flood control project that brings 160 homes and six roadway crossings out of the floodplain is finally complete in Kirby.
The Rosillo Creek Flood Control Project reduced 80 percent of the floodplain within Kirby city limits. Bexar County spent just under $10.5 million on the project.

The project is part of a 10-year plan called the Bexar County Flood Control Program.
“It really made a big difference in controlling flooding here,” Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said. “Overall, though, with the 10-year plan, the $500 million that we’ve done, over some 30 projects have been completed.”
Other projects in the program include the HALT system, a warning system for low water crossings, and other drainage projects throughout the county.
