The River Severn has risen above record levels in Shrewsbury and is set to peak late tomorrow morning.
On Monday evening, Frankwell and the Welsh Bridge were closed to all traffic at Frankwell Island. Access was in place only for buses terminating at Theatre Severn, University Centre Shrewsbury, and residents and businesses on the Frankwell side of the Welsh Bridge.
Several car parks and town centre roads are closed in Shrewsbury, including Welsh Bridge, Smithfield Avenue and Longden Coleham, while Shrewsbury College's English and Welsh Bridge campuses are both shut along with Shrewsbury High School.
