A large tree is currently blocking the navigation between between Bridge 54 and Bridge 55 in Wootton Wawen.
Please note that our teams are responding to multiple fallen trees as a result of Storm Claudia. We are prioritising safety and addressing these issues as quickly as resources allow.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the affected route. An update will be issued once navigation can safely resume.
