A damaged pavement near Norwich is set to be reconstructed with works costing around £91,300.

The pavement in Davidson Road in Thorpe St Andrew will be resurfaced and the road will be closed for the entire construction.

It was expected to take eight weeks to complete but this has now been extended to take around 12 weeks.

The work will be carried out in phases and begin on January 8 to remove and replace the pavement's damaged surface.

The junctions of Davidson Road leading to Birkbeck Way and Thomas Vere Road will also be closed for the 12-week period. 

People who live in the area will be able to access their homes via Thomas Vere Road but there may be temporary restrictions to individual properties while the work takes place in front of driveways.

The work is being taken on by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and its contractors.
