Cliff repairs costing £80,000 begin on Monday.
Two sections of storm-damaged cliff behind the Spa approach road in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, are to be restored. The area suffered in November 2000 when torrential rain made the land slump.
Work will begin on a 20m section beneath the southern end of the Spa bridge, which will be stabilised and supported by concrete buttresses.
John Riby, of Scarborough Borough Council, said it was hoped the work would protect the area against further movement by strengthening the cliffs and improving drainage.
It is being funded from a £600,000 budget for storm repairs and from the council's cliff maintenance budget.
