ROADWORKS currently clogging up busy roads in Thorpe Bay will not finish until January.

National Grid are currently replacing 3.5km of old gas pipes along Lifstan Way and Eastern Esplanade as part of a £500,000 investment project.

However, despite motorists suffering delays, it has been confirmed the works are not expected to end until the end of next month.

Anyone with questions or concerns about the work should contact National Grid's helpline on 0800 096 5678.
