Police are expected to close a small section of the A47 as detectives continue to investigate the discovery of a body.

A man in his 20s was found by the roadside near King's Lynn on 2 December at about 09:20 GMT. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Norfolk Police said to "ensure the safety of officers" temporary traffic lights would be in use on the eastbound carriageway on Sunday, between Pullover roundabout and Shoreboat roundabout, from 08.30 to 16:00.

On Tuesday, a man in his 60s from Reading, Berkshire, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving, failing to stop and failing to report a collision.

The man in his 20s died from a head injury, according to preliminary findings of a Home Office post-mortem.

Norfolk Police said it apologised for any delays caused by the temporary traffic lights.
