A railway bridge is flooded with roughly 3 feet of water at the deepest point, with drivers needing to take a four-mile diversion.
Ashfield Road, on the outskirts of Wetherden, near Stowmarket, is currently impassable to most vehicles due to flooding.
Locals have worked to pump some of the water into a nearby field to help lower the amount of water on the road, using their own equipment.
The issue has been reported to Suffolk County Council five times in the last three weeks, with people complaining of long diversions and dangerous measures some are taking to get past.
One report said: "For further information, cyclists and other recreational public are scaling the Network Rail maintenance gates and crossing the railway line at this point to avoid the flood."
In recent weeks, the village of Wetherden and the surrounding area have been under a number of flood alerts as heavy rain continues to impact the area.
Last month, Storm Chandra caused river levels to be abnormally high on the Rattlesden River and the River Gipping, which led to a flood alert for Wetherden.
Suffolk Highways has been approached for comment.
