Residents are being advised to monitor the risk of flooding and prepare to evacuate if necessary as a number of flood warnings remain in place across the county.
Main Street in Gunthorpe was closed during the early hours of Wednesday morning (February 19) due to rising water levels and flooding continues in Tolney Lane, Newark.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire County Council said: “Main Street in Gunthorpe has now been closed due to rising water levels. Water is also starting to creep onto the A6097 at the junction with Main Street so a temporary two-way traffic light system has been put in place."
However, a few hours later the A6097 at Gunthorpe was reopened in both directions after water levels receded on Wednesday morning.
A total of 16 flood warnings remain in place across Nottinghamshire on Wednesday. In those areas, flooding is expected and officials advice residents take 'immediate action'.
A spokesman for Newark and Sherwood District Council said: "Flooding on Tolney Lane in Newark is continuing and the lorry park remains available for residents with mobile accommodation to relocate on a temporary basis. The Bridge Community Centre remains open this evening to provide welfare services.
Nottinghamshire police has also urged residents in affected areas to be vigilant.
A spokesman said: "Water levels on the River Trent are continuing to rise which could lead to a number of homes being affected in Gunthorpe, Shelford, Shelford Manor, Caythorpe, Thrumpton, Hoveringham, Trent Lock, and Tolney Lane in Newark.
"Roads in each of the areas could also be affected, including the A6097 at Gunthorpe Bridge, which could impact on people's ability to seek refuge.
"People who decide to leave their homes who cannot stay with friends or relatives are advised to check with their local councils for details of rest centres."
The advice comes following Environment Agency flood warnings to people in the areas to take action due to the risk of flooding.
Detective Superintendent Mike Allen, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We would urge people to continue to watch the flood warnings from the Environment Agency, monitor the situation locally and be prepared to evacuate.
"Current flood predictions from the Environment Agency show there is a risk to homes in a number of villages. It is a constantly changing picture so we would urge people to be prepared and take action as soon as is necessary."
