"I came through last night, it was a bit hairy," wrote one resident on the village Facebook page

Another said: "I didn't risk it this morning and went via the 40 Foot. It took me two hours to get to work instead of 50 minutes."

Another said she'd seen a Ford Focus attempt it today (Thursday) and wondered if it made it through.

One other driver said he crossed it this morning (Thursday) but won't be coming back that way tonight.

An Environment Agency announcement said levels in the River Nene remain high following rainfall last week. "During periods of high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions," said their statement.

"This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank Road. It is expected that this flood warning will remain in force for at least the next 48 hours and this message will be updated by Friday evening, 15th of November." Whilst the flood warning is in force, the county council is closing North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available.
