A normally busy Suffolk road remains shut after serious flooding during Storm Henk.
An emergency closure was put in place along the A143 Compiegne Way in Bury St Edmunds on Sunday, December 31, after it became submerged under water.
Residents have called for Suffolk Highways to address the issue which has left the road closed for more than a week.
Leader of West Suffolk Council, Cliff Waterman, who is also the councillor for the Eastgate ward which covers Compiegne Way, said: "It is frankly shocking that an important road in and out of Bury St Edmunds has been allowed to flood to begin with, and clearly there are not adequate drainage provisions there."
A spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "We recognise the frustration residents are feeling with the closure of Compiegne Way due to flooding, we are working with our contractors to plan in repair works here as soon as possible and will provide an update on next steps."
