Hide AdHighways England project manager Arun Sahni said: “This work will provide drivers with smoother and safer journeys between these two junctions.
“This work will be carried out overnight when traffic levels are at their lowest to keep disruption to a minimum. We are also utilising the closures to carry out other work at the same time to reduce the number of closures and impact on the public.”
Work will start on the southbound carriageway with diversions via the A630, the A631 and the M18.
Work will then start on the northbound carriageway.
The work is expected to take around a week for each carriageway.
