Improvements in Whaplode Drove will start in mid-June.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “Hull’s Drove, either side of the Martins Road junction, is in a dire state so we’ll be completely rebuilding this section of B1166 starting next month.
“This will be a major piece of engineering, with the team expecting to use over 2,000 tonnes of asphalt and other road-building materials to complete the job.
“While on-site, we’ll also be stabilising the B1166 verge to the west of the Martins Road junction, as well as improving the road surface further Hull’s Drove near the A16 junction.
“Like any major roadworks, there will be some disruption which we will do our best to keep to a minimum.”
