Storm Claudia has left its mark across Lincolnshire after a weekend of heavy rain and high winds from what was the first major storm of the winter season.
Lincolnshire County Council Highways and Resilience departments were out in force across the county to ensure that roads remained open and issues were dealt with as quickly as possible.
The crews were in action clearing fallen trees from the road network and using gully tankers and jetters to clear areas known to be in a high flood risk area.
Across the entire 5,500-mile long traffic network just one part of one road remained stubborn to clear of standing water - the A151 at Corby Glen/Birkholme under the railway bridge took crews with a tanker and two pumps until 11pm last night (Sunday) to eventually re-open.
Crews worked around the clock from Friday evening to make sure that the road was cleared as quickly as possible. a localised emergency doversion route was in place while the obstruction was dealt with.
Between 7.04am and 5.16pm on Friday, LCC crews went out to 52 separate incidents on the roads which were mainly made up of clearing trees and other debris as the weather swept across the county.
At 5pm on Friday there were 26 gangs out on the traffic network (including maintenance crews and gully tankers) and they worked into the evening with a remaining 8 crews, plus two jetting gangs and specialist tree teams, carrying on through the night.
LCC Highways and Resilience teams then put on additional resources and staff well into Saturday, ready to tend to any further issues should they have become necessary.
