A BRIDGE near Selby has been closed.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire County Council said Cawood Bridge has been shut as the Environment Agency has put flood defences in place to protect the village of Cawood itself.
"When the flood defences are in place the bridge has to close," the spokesman added.
