As part of the resurfacing work, National Highways will also be renewing the road markings and studs to provide a smoother, safer carriageway for road users.
During the closures, a fully signed diversion will be in place as below, and access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout.
National Highways said: "We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum.
"We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes."
