Whitepost Hill in Redhill has now reopened following repairs caused by a burst pipe on a 15 inch main late in the evening of Friday 7 February.
The main was repaired the following morning, but the road works took longer because the damage caused by the leak extended over an area in excess of 400m2.
River levels on the Thames have started to fall and work is now underway to help communities get back on their feet.
Councils all across Surrey are setting up flood recovery centres where people can get information and advice to help them recover from the effects of the severe weather.
Seven centres are to be opened across the county and the Environment Agency and Public Health England websites also provide help and advice.
Residents whose insurance policies cover flooding should contact their insurers at the earliest possible opportunity.
