| At the end of Dodsley Lane, A286. The bulk of the water has by now found its way into the river.
In the meantime the authorities react to a large amount of water sitting on the bridge and a local council crew arrive and promptly block the road with their truck.

| The police arrive to take charge. This bridge is a main crossing point for the River Rother and both the A286 and A272 converge here to cross. A decision is made to close the bridge and traffic is being turned around....to go where? The people seen at right have just walked across the bridge.

| Now a fire engine arrives. In the meantime, traffic in Midhurst is at a standstill with all traffic being diverted onto the Petersfield road.

| Fire crew leave the appliance and inspect the bridge. Within 5 minutes the traffic is allowed through with no mishaps. By now there is gridlock throughout the area with traffic queued for over 2 miles on both the A272 and A286. Towards Chichester, on the A286, the traffic was queued back to Cocking Village.!!
