A main road into and out of Bournemouth will be temporarily closed from Monday as work is carried out.
Five miles of highway maintenance will be done on the A338 Spur Road, between Ashley Heath roundabout on the A31 and Blackwater junction at Christchurch Road, from Monday, November 6.
The temporary restrictions will be put in place until Friday, November 10 and will be put in place between 9pm to 6am.
The southbound carriageway is due to shut on November 6 and 7, and the northbound closed on November 8 and 9.
It is expected to fully reopen on November 10 at 6am.
Dorset Council says a signed diversion route will be in place via the A31 Ringwood Road to Ferndown and then onto New Road.
After that, signs will take drivers to Christchurch Road and then Parley Lane past the airport and back to Blackwater junction.
The council warns fines of up to £1,000 will be handed out to drivers who drive on Spur Road during the overnight closures.
