The A303 in Somerset has flooded after heavy rainfall
The A303 westbound in Somerset will be shut for a couple of days after heavy rainfall caused flooding.
National Highways South West has closed the road between the A37 Ilchester and the A3088 in Yeovil.
Flood water is running from a field next to the carriageway, which has been collecting water since Storm Ciarán.
National Highways said it will take a while to clear surrounding roads which are also flooded.
