I went through yesterday & looked like they are starting to install the pumps but one lane was already closed so it must be something else. On the north side there is a several metre gap where tarmac does not meet which I thought was pretty silly.

 ah...similar to where News Flash: today, the English Channel Tunnel meets the French Channel Bridge ?? ('Round the Horn' or was it 'Beyond our Ken')

Supposed to be closed for maintenance overnight but it was closed in both directions around 2pm yesterday, causing traffic chaos, especially as the roads above were flooded. I don't know if there had been a flood inside the underpass, I couldn't see.

Of there was they could not clear it as no pumps in place although I did see one being fitted today.
