Traders have welcomed the move as workers from the Environment Agency made preparations to reopen the town's bridge.
Days of heavy rain and storms had forced barriers to be placed at their highest position for 14 years due to concerns about flooding.
But the barriers held firm in the town to the relief of residents and officials speaking today as work to scale down the operation began.
