B1040 Thorney to Whittlesey Road to the South of the River Nene
Flooding is expected – immediate action required
Heavy rain has fallen on the River Nene catchment over the last week. The Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Washlands has resulted in flooding of the B1040 road today, Monday 4th January. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority may close the B1040 for safety reasons. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media. This Flood Warning is expected to stay in force for several days until water levels recede. Please follow diversionary routes until the local authority re-open the road. We are closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated on Tuesday 5th January, or as the situation changes.
