Works are taking place for bridge beam installation as part of the Thickthorn junction improvement scheme.
A National Highways spokesman said: "During the weekend closure, drivers are strongly encouraged to avoid travelling in the area during that weekend if possible, allow extra time for essential journeys, follow the signed diversion route, and check traffic information before travelling."

Those living on Cantley Lane South will be escorted by traffic marshals to maintain access during the works.
