Flood warning for B1040 Thorney to Whittlesey Road to the South of the River Nene
Heavy rain is currently falling in the Peterborough area which is causing the river levels to rise on the River Nene. The Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash will result in flooding of the B1040 road. 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. We are closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated by 16:00 on 03/01/2024, or before if the situation changes.
