The A9 has been closed at Traill Street in Thurso after part of a roof from the former Clydesdale Bank building collapsed into the road.
Traffic Scotland said the road was closed in both directions and that traffic in the area was busy.
Images shared online show that the front edge of the roof collapsed in the early hours of Monday.
Police Scotland said they were dealing with falling masonry from a building in Traill Street.
A spkesperson added: "The road is currently closed at the junction of Sir George's Street, Olrig Street, Cowie Lane and Mansons Lane. Members of the public are being advised to avoid the area meantime."
No one is believed to have been hurt in the incident.
