Our teams have been working tirelessly and are continuing to respond to clean up our highways network following the recent floods.
We’re working to get our roads up and running as soon as possible. We’ve had to remove large amounts of debris, check for damage to bridges and structures, and pump water from underpasses before roads can be reopened.
Road updates
Latest road information:
- Meadow Road has now reopened.
- Eastgate underpass is open.
- Darwin Place car park is now open.
- A52 is open.
Cathedral Green swing bridge:
- The Cathedral Green swing bridge is now open.
Who to contact in a flood
Emergency contacts are available on our website. Information on flooding and land drainage is also available.
Be aware and prepare
Please be mindful that many rivers and streams remain very full and fast-flowing for several days after a flood. Keep away from river banks and pathways close to rivers, and never enter the water to rescue anyone, or an animal in difficulty in the water. Call 999 immediately. Read more about water safety.
Thinking ahead, preparedness remains one of our best forms of defence against flooding. If you live in a risk area, you should register for the Environment Agency's Flood Warnings Direct service.
This is a free service which sends you a direct message when flooding is expected which may affect your property. You can receive warnings by telephone, mobile, email, text message or fax.
