Roadworks are to being on a section of the A95 northeast of Cromdale from Monday morning.
Road bosses have said the £320,000 project will address defects in the road surface on the whisky road north of Dallachapple.
The repairs will get under way at 8am and are scheduled to last two weeks.
Works will be carried out between 8am and 5.30pm each day, with surfacing due to be completed by 5.30pm on March 25.
No works are planned to take place next weekend.
There will be a lane closure with temporary traffic lights and a 10mph convoy system in place during working hours to protect workers.
The convoy system will be removed overnight, however the traffic lights will remain in place due to the nature of the project.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North East Unit Representative, said: “This surfacing project near Cromdale has been designed to improve the general condition and safety of this section of the A95 for motorists.
“The traffic management is essential to ensure the safety of both roadworkers and motorists.
"Regrettably there will be some delays but our teams will do all they can to complete the scheme as safely and quickly as possible.
“We thank motorists for the patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential improvements on the A95.
"We encourage them to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
