Road closed due to weather thread.

[onyx39]

With all the flooding issues currently ongoing, I thought it might be a good idea to put up a thread warning road users.

Mods, if you think its a bad idea, feel free to close.

Currently Laundry Lane (the road behind Tesco's / M@S at the Meadows) is closed due to flooding.

Blackhorse Road at St Johns near Brookwood was closed off the other day
No problem for the Ranger but some poor sod in an Astra may have a motor issue

I have been out all hours dealing with flooded underground car parks
and deep level basements where pumps have needed a helping hand / repair

My stock of temporary pumps, hoses and cables is nearly all out.
Tanker has been busy too ££££

Mill Lane from Lower Earley;
The Showcase cinema roundabout at Loddon Bridge;

The problem is the rivers/streams are going up and down like Yo-Yo's at the moment. Roads can be open at one point and closed the next!! It's been a nightmare!!!

A308 past the Runnymede hotel was closed this morning. Caused a bit of a hold up at the Egham roundabout.

Sandford Lane, Hurst/Woodley is still over a foot underwater. It was ok in in the Defender, wouldn't think about going through it yet in a normal car though.

Went past that about an hour ago and that's quite an impressive new lake there,will take forever to

Drain away that lot of the open land.

I'm going home shortly as it will be a nightmare at 5pm.

ETA: that's a big lake!!

I've generally been ignoring the road closed signs as have loads of other drivers, some roads have been closed yet have not even a puddle on then.

The problem is they are closed when they are really bad and people have been getting stuck, but we can't stay at the closure and monitor it, officers then get sent elsewhere and no one then has time to go back and check all the closure's, it's not ideal but there really isn't a lot else that can be done, everyone is so busy (Police, Highways and the local authority)

The night we had the bad storms, there were over 300 Icads just for trees being down

This morning Almners Road Lyne/Chertsey was still flooded under the rail bridge even though the road closed signs had been removed. Looks like a riot happened there - car stranded in the flood water appeared to have been vandalised along with a load of fly tipping on the edge of the flood water. Hopefully will be cleared soon!

I've heard Chertsey bridge has been closed due to the floods. Does anybody know if it is still closed and likely to be tomorrow?

It's been closed for a while, but cannot say 100% about tomorrow!!

[Landshark]

This was the road leading away from the bridge towards Shepperton a few days ago!!!

[Jagmanv12]

Thanks for the info. Different route to the airport I think!!
