This route https://cycle.travel/map?from=Newton%20St%20Faith&to=Norwich&fromLL=52.704739149999995,1.2830215857442182&toLL=52.628606,1.29227

point 4 on the turn by turn takes you onto Beck Lane. This is a ford, it is often too deep for cycling. OSM has it as a ford - so doesn't need amending. You might want to block that off on your route planning machine.

Why not use the bridge, or does that become impassable too?

Interesting point – thanks. OSM doesn’t usually differentiate between “get your wheels a bit wet” and “likely to drown” fords but it should be possible to give them some sort of penalty. I’ll look into it. (Though as Graham says I think in practice I’d probably just go round the side!)
