The Highways Agency will be undertaking works to install new traffic signals, resurface the carriageway and replace road signs and road markings at the A45 Festival Island near Coventry.
The work is due to start on Monday 16 July and will be completed in early September. All activity will take place between 8pm and 6am to minimise disruption to road users.
Whist the works are underway, the entry and exit slip roads to Festival Island will be closed at various points during the works, together with some lane closures.
Diversions will be clearly signposted.
Mark Braithwaite, Highways Agency Project Manager said: "We will do our utmost to complete the works as quickly as possible, avoiding disturbance and keeping noise to a minimum. Once complete, the work will result in reduced delays, less congestion through the junction together with a quieter road surface and improved safety for road users."
