The unit, which will soon contain a Wendy's in Morse Road, near the NDR at Hellesdon, has been fully built.

A Costa Coffee is also opening at the site, which will boast nearly 70 parking spaces.

Graeme Cosgrove, development director at Mersenne Developments LTD, which is carrying out the works, said: "The construction of the shell units for both Costa and Wendy's is now complete.

"Costa has started their fit-out works and Wendy's will be starting their works shortly."

An eye-catching sign advertising each of the chain's drive-thru services has been erected.

Due to being near Norwich Airport, the restaurants have height restrictions of 10m, and landscapers have been advised not to plant any trees that may attract birds to the area.

On the potential opening dates for the businesses, Mr Cosgrove previously said: "It's likely going to take them, after that, I'd hazard a guess, six or seven weeks to fit [Wendy's and Costa] out.

"You'd be looking at the end of March, beginning of April, before they are open for business."

Another Wendy's restaurant, as well as a Starbucks coffee shop, is being built in Hall Road.
