A341 Magna Road blocked by flooding between Bear Cross and Gravel Hill
Flooding is affecting many roads around Bournemouth and East Dorset this afternoon following heavy rain on Saturday morning.
The A431 Magna Road is blocked by flood water and drivers are taking to the pavements to avoid the issues.
A video posted on Twitter shows vehicles turning around but others decided to take an alternative course of action.
Magna Road runs between Ringwood Road at Bear Cross to the A349 Gravel Hill.
Elsewhere, the A338 is now open between Ringwood and Salisbury but traffic lights are in operation to avoid flooding at Fordingbridge, and Ham Lane is partially blocked due to flooding near the A31 Canford Bottom roundabout.
