Abstract: There is provided a temporary restoration member (lining mats (1), nonslip pins (2), lock pins (3), stoppers (4), fixing pins (5)) for simplifying the construction work for temporarily restoring a road surface when a paved road surface (B) is excavated to lay piping, and a method for restoring the road surface using the member. Each of the lining mats (1) is a rectangular rubber plate provided with a thick central part (11), two thin side parts (12), and pinholes (16) at appropriate locations that pass through the mats from the front surface to the reverse surface. The lining mats are laid out to cover a backfilled surface so that the side edges of the mats are disposed on the paved road surface (B). Cylindrical nonslip pins (2) are driven into the pinholes, and lock pins (3) are driven into the cylindrical part of the nonslip pins to fix the lining mats. Latching protrusions (42) of stoppers (4) are inserted into the pinholes to connect adjoining mats.
