The River Wey has burst its banks

Flooding blocked a Surrey road after a river burst its banks.

Lower Eashing, leading to the A3, was blocked by water from the River Wey on Friday morning.

By about 08:45 GMT cars were seen passing along the road, which still had a large amount of surface water.

The flooding was to the south side of a bridge over the river in Eashing.

A flooded road seen in the dark with wooden posts clearly seen which would normally mark the road from the river bank but surrounded by water. There are houses on the side of the road with Christmas lights on the outside.
The road through Eashing was earlier impassable

The traffic monitoring site Inrix earlier reported that the road was "impassable" in both directions.

Flood warnings were in place throughout the country earlier in the week, after two storms brought heavy rain and disruption.
