Work Sealing Cambria Drive Cave Stops After New Chamber Found

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — A previously undetected void in the cave on Cambria Drive toward Ephraim Road has prompted a work stoppage on efforts to seal it, county officials said Thursday.

The work stoppage is required per the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality protocol, county officials explained. The county's environmental consultants and TCEQ officials will inspect the void, officials said. More information will be made available after they have finished their analysis and mapping, according to county officials.

The underground cave network was exposed in February when a portion of Cambria Drive collapsed at around 3 a.m. near the Woods of Brushy Creek neighborhood situated between Highway 183 and Cedar Park on the west and Interstate 35 and Round Rock to the east.
