Highways previously said the road would re-open once river levels had dropped.
Dean Cox, who lives in the village, said yesterday: "I came through there this morning on my bike and it was just a large puddle, so I'm pleased that I'm not getting wet every morning and evening."
A video of him riding through the floodwater on New Year's Eve has been uploaded to and videos were also posted by user LightValue1840 of flooding on the road.
