MidCoast Council contractors will begin pavement repair work on a 170 metre section of Old Bar Road on Monday 30 August.
Work will be undertaken during the day and is expected to take about one week to complete, weather permitting.
"This work is to repair and improve a section west of the Warwiba Road intersection," explained Rhett Pattison, MidCoast Council's Manager of Projects and Engineering.
"Traffic will be restricted to a single lane while the work is taking place and motorists can expect some delays."
This work is to repair a section that has failed and follows previous drainage improvements to the area in preparation.
"Ground water was penetrating the road pavement and collecting under the eastbound traffic lane so in August last year we had new subsoil drainage lines installed to prevent the ground water entering the pavement in the future."
Rhett also advised there will be active traffic controls in place from 6am to 6pm to try to minimise delays during peak periods, while traffic lights will be in place between 6pm and 6am.
