Flooding continues to cause a disruption for drivers in Dorset this morning.
The county is still feeling the effects of Storm Chandra which brought some of the highest river levels on record whilst more than 40 roads across the county were closed or impassable after rivers burst their banks including the A35 and A37.
Following a yellow weather warning over the county and more heavy rain last night some roads have been forced to close.
As it stands, major routes such as the A35 and A37 are open.
Here are the latest travel updates as of 7.15am:
A3066 North Perrott Road both ways impassable due to flooding between Willis Lane and Stonage Lane.
Bere Road in Winterborne Kingston is closed both ways due to flooding from Bagwood Road to North Street.
Also in the village, Sackville Street is closed due to flooding from Noah Henville Corner to Marsh Lane and West Street both ways impassable due to flooding from the village outskirts to Stoney Lawn.
High Street in Sturminster Marshall remains blocked due to flooding from Market Place to Balls Lane.
