The A47 was blocked while police attended an incident.

The road was been closed in both directions between the A140 and A146 at Trowse at around 9am.

A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary confirmed they had received reports of a concern for safety in the area.

Queues formed between Postwick and Intwood and motorists reported being stand-still for around 40 minutes.

People were being warned to avoid the area.

The road has since reopened and traffic is starting to ease.
