Rather than resorting to bus transportation, would it not be a more long term solution to build more bridges through the embankment to enable the water to wash through. If needs be, perhaps a DLR type viaduct, assemmbled from pre-fabricated sections might be the answer.
Moving away from the closure idea, I have wondered that. You can't stop that volume of water, but you can provide it a way through.
