Further to the road closure alert this morning, parts of the flooded A361 Glastonbury road can be accessed.
Motorists can use either side of the flooded section of road and it is accessible for residents and local businesses. You can still travel from Taunton to East Lyng and from the Pipers Inn at Ashcott to Burrowbridge.
Due to flooding of the A361, the road is impassable between East Lyng (junction of Cutts Road) and the Somerset Levels Basket and Craft Centre at Burrowbridge.
The water level is still rising on the flooded section of the A361 and we do not advise people to try and drive through the water. The depth of the water is unknown and there are rhynes on either side of the carriageway that vehicles may fall in to.
We are also monitoring the A372 between Othery and Langport as this may also have to be closed if the water level continues to rise across the moor.
