Road closed due to flooding

This is the road from Brafferton towards Cundall and Asenby near Thornton Bridge, where floodwater has backed up across the road. maybe the Victorians had more sense, as the original route followed slightly higher ground in a semi-circle to the left. That option has now been closed and is now on private land.
