Police officers have attended to close the road.
Motorists are urged to avoid the area and find an alternative route.
Police urge drivers to take care, lower their speeds and not to enter flood water.
A Cumbria County Council spokeswoman said that the council’s highways team were doing a clean operation following flooding on the road and they expect it to be reopened in the morning.
