Work to remove the bollards and repair drainage on Audley Avenue is set to take place next week.
An investigation was conducted in August that determined the sewer under the road was damaged during the installation of rising bollards several years ago.
Audley Avenue serves Burton Borough School and several business premises as well as the town cemetery. Usually the road is closed off during the day by the traffic bollards, which drop at certain times to let buses through, but they have been out of action for several weeks.
The work is due to begin on Monday, October 28 and is expected to be completed within a week.
A 24-hour road closure will be in place while work takes place, with workers from Balfour Beatty and sub-contractors MSM & Quantum Traffic Management on site between 8am and 6pm.
