A temporary speed limit and one-lane traffic will be introduced on the busy A18 near Humberside Airport.
North Lincolnshire Council says that although actual work at the scene is not expected to start until November to repair a bridge, temporary traffic lights will be in place from Monday, July 29 "to enable workers to establish the best repair solution."
A spokeswoman said: "At this time, there will be a one-way traffic system in place over the bridge. The speed limit will also reduce from 60pmh to 30mph.
Work will be undertaken to strengthen the bridge carrying the road over the main Scunthorpe to Cleethorpes railway line at Melton Ross.
The speed limit will apply to the A18 from its junction with the B1211 - near the Singleton Birch works - and extend eastwards over the bridge towards the airport.
The bridge is owned by the council.
