Good news for people who use Myocum Road with Council to start a major program of heavy patching later this month.
The current state of the road is poor.
Council has allocated more than $250,000 for the program which will take around two months to do if the weather is good.
Malcolm Robertson, Acting Manager Works, said while there will be short delays for drivers, the end result will be a much smoother, safer road.
"Myocum Road is one of our busier roads, carrying more than 2,200 vehicles a day," Mr Robertson said.
"The road is narrow and used by heavy vehicles including those going to our Resource and Recovery Centre, so the wear and tear is really starting to show," he said.
Electronic signs will be in place several weeks before the start of the roadwork to alert drivers.
Council staff will also notify bus companies and emergency services.
The road will remain open but is likely to be reduced to one lane of alternating traffic.
Drivers can expect delays of five to 10 minutes.
