TWO roads that were closed due to bad weather have re-opened in Somerset.

Following Storm Ciarán, which caused chaos in the region, many roads were forced to closed.

Following severe flooding on the Somerset Levels in 2014, emergency road closure gates were installed at eight locations to help stop vehicles potentially getting stuck in flood waters.

The gates are kept locked open at all times and will only be locked shut when water levels are rising and the road is at risk of becoming impassable.

Cutts Road and New Road have now been reopened. However, Muchelney to Langport Road remains closed.

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), a Travel Somerset spokesperson said: "Emergency road closure gates latest:

"Cutts Road is now open.

"New Road is open.

"Muchelney to Langport Road remains closed."
