Wiltshire Council will begin work to upgrade the traffic signal junction at the A338 (The Headlands, Salisbury Road, and The Borough) in Downton on Monday, 4th August.
The project, which includes improvements to pedestrian crossings, is expected to take three weeks to complete.
Multi-way temporary traffic signals, including temporary signalised pedestrian crossings, will be in place for the duration of the work to manage traffic.
The existing infrastructure has reached the end of its design life, and this upgrade will improve both safety and reliability for all road users. The improvements include removing outdated equipment and upgrading the junction to the latest traffic signal technology.
Cllr Martin Smith, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “The traffic signal junction at the A338 in Downton has been identified as a priority for refurbishment due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure. This upgrade is part of our ongoing investment in modernising traffic signals across Wiltshire, helping to ensure our roads remain safe, efficient and fit for the future.
“We are committed to protecting the safety of everyone who uses our roads, whether they live in Wiltshire or are visiting, and these improvements will support that goal for many years to come. We appreciate the patience and understanding of residents and road users while we carry out these essential improvement works.”
