People are being invited to find out more about improvement work taking place on a main road through Fradley, Alrewas and Barton-under-Needwood.
Carriageway resurfacing, safety barrier renewal and improvements to street lighting and road markings will take place on the A38 between March and September.
Two events will take place for people to meet the project team and find out more about the work.
National Highways project manager, Saima Khan, said:
“The A38 carries thousands of motorists every day and it is essential that we carry out this important maintenance so that we continue to provide them with safe, reliable journeys as well as creating a smoother and quieter road surface.
“Carrying out this extensive programme of work now will reduce the need to return here in the future.
“During any road closures we’ll also work with the local authority to carry out other maintenance such as litter picking to avoid further disruption.
“We do appreciate that any roadworks can cause some disruption and will try to keep this to a minimum.
“We would urge people to come along to the information events to talk to us and find out more about this important work.”
