People dealing with traffic problems on the outskirts of the city now have a date for when one road closure could come to an end.

Ringland Road was shut on May 12 due to a sinkhole due to a collapsed culvert.

The next day Norfolk County Council put an emergency road closure in place near the Ringland bridge and put diversions in place.

"It could be moved forward or back depending on the work – we would of course reopen the road as soon as it is safe to do so, and not before.

"Our team is on-site later this week, to conduct a full examination of the damage to the culvert, which will give us a better idea of a more exact date for the repairs to be completed."
