The Anglian Water engineers will be on site investigating during the course of the weekend, whilst they will also be repairing the road.
An Anglian Water spokesman, said: “The leak to our pipe has now been repaired. Work will be beginning to take the top layer of concrete off from over the hole over the weekend.
“This will allow teams to start backfilling and reinstating the surface on Monday.
“The same part of the road remains closed over the weekend and the start of next week whilst repairs continue.”
