Work to improve safety on the A36 at Upton Lovell starts on Monday.
The changes to the Manor Road junction,where there have been several fatal accidents over the years, will mostly be carried out during the day but some overnight closures of the A36 will also be needed. Temporary traffic lights will be in operation.
Mike Webster, of the Highways Agency, said: “It will be necessary to close the A36 between Deptford roundabout and the A36/A350 roundabout at certain times. Fully signed diversion routes will be in place.”
When the A36 is closed northbound traffic will be diverted along the A303 westbound, then north on to the A350 before rejoining the A36. Southbound traffic will follow this route in the opposite direction.
“Residents and local businesses will have access at all times but access on to the A36 from Manor Road will not be allowed until the works are completed next February.”
