A major route near Hereford is closed this morning after cars ended up getting stranded overnight due to rising flood water.

The A4103 (Hereford to Worcester Road), near Aylestone Hill roundabout is closed this morning, due to rising floodwater. 

The Hereford to Sutton St Nicholas Road remains closed as well, with both closures in place due to rising levels on the River Lugg.

The closures are likely to remain in place for the majority of the day at the very least and probably into Friday. 

A number of roads in Herefordshire remain closed this morning due to flooding.

The A4103 is the latest road to be closed at Aylestone Hill roundabout, with the River Lugg reaching record levels in the county.

Levels on the River Wye peaked in Hereford on Thursday evening but are only falling slowly, meaning that roads such as the A438 at Letton, Holme Lacy Road and the Holme Lacy Causeway remain closed this morning and are likely to remain closed today.
