THE bridge through Tadcaster has reopened this morning (February 23) on the third day after flooding caused by storm Franklin.
Tadcaster Bridge was closed until this morning after the River Wharfe overtopped its banks on Monday.
The road was closed between Kirkgate and Mill Lane due to debris on the road.
Some shops in the town centre remain closed after firefighters were called in in the early hours on Monday to help businesses at risk of flooding in the town.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were called out at 4.33am to Commercial Street in Tadcaster town centre after reports that businesses were in danger of flooding.
A spokesman for the service said yesterday that firefighters returned in a different capacity, this time to help with clearing up after the flood water abated.
Group manager Bob Hoskins said: "Following the floods crews from Tadcaster fire station have been in the town helping businesses affected with the clear up.
"Crews have worked to pump out basements, remove damaged furniture and provide support
"Thanks to our on call team who volunteered their time."
