Arun Sahni, Highways England project manager, said: “This work will provide drivers with smoother and safer journeys between these two junctions.
“This work will be carried out overnight when traffic levels are at their lowest to keep disruption to a minimum. We are also utilising the closures to carry out other work at the same time to reduce the number of closures and impact on the public.”
Work will start on the southbound carriageway with diversions via the A630, the A631 and the M18 to rejoin at junction 32.
