The northbound A38 was shut between Alrewas and the turn for Barton-under-Needwood after a vehicle hit a bridge earlier today.
National Highways West Midlands said: "The A38 northbound is closed between the A513 near Alrewas and B5016 near Barton-under-Needwood.
"The closure is due to a car colliding with a bridge. A structural inspector is en route.
"Staffordshire Police are in attendance."
The road was open again by about 1pm.
The affected stretch of road is just north of part of the road which has been shut southbound since earlier this week while South Staffs Water crews repair a water leak.
