The eastbound slip entry slip road from the A5111 is also closed.
Commuters are facing stands-still traffic towards Nottingham as a result – as well as in the surrounding areas of Spondon and Borrowash.
Drivers have been advised to seek alternative routes if they can.
The road was briefly reopened this morning – before closing again.
An update posted by Inrix read: “A52 Brian Clough Way Eastbound closed, slow traffic due to police incident from A6005 Raynesway to Stoney Lane.”
A spokesman for National Highways added: “The A52 in Derbyshire is closed in both directions between the M1 and the A5111 Raynesway due to a police led incident.”
“More information to follow, thank you for your patience.”
