The Chesterfield Canal is crossed by the railway near Worksop. The railway bridge also crosses the road, which has to dip down below the canal level at this point. After prolonged heavy rain the road was more like a canal! Motorists are asked to check their speed. Hopefully the traffic cones at the end of the road will ensure they do until the waters recede. The low bridge sign hasn't been 100% effective!
