Essential work linked to the North and East Melton Mowbray distributor road (NEMMDR) starts on Monday (8th January) with the closure of the A606 Burton Road.
For full details of the closure, diversion route and FAQs, visit the construction updates and roadworks section of our project website.
The work is scheduled to finish on Sunday 28 January.
A spokesperson for Leicestershire County Council said: "Advance signs warning of the closure have been set up and we have met with the emergency services.
“We are constructing a major road scheme which will reduce congestion and support growth in the local area, and unfortunately at times, some disruption on existing roads is unavoidable so we apologise for any inconvenience.
"We do work hard however to minimise disruption on the road network where this occurs.”
