A "large amount" of tyre debris across the carriageway has caused part of the A11 to close.

The A11 is closed northbound between the B1077 junction near Besthorpe due to tyre debris on the road.

Norfolk Police are in attendance and are working to clear the carriageway.

Delays are expected as traffic is being diverted via local routes.
