Blue and white police tape was stretched across the road on Monday morning, from the metal fencing on the Sheffield University tram stop, which is located between the two carriageways, to part of the central reservation.
A dark coloured car could be seen on the road inside the cordon, with evidence markers close to it.
Police advising people to avoid the area.
