Workers will carry out improvements on the A939 Strathdon to Tomintoul Road between Corgarff and the Lecht from Monday, 20 June.
Features include excavating badly damaged areas over more than half of the width of the road and replacing them with new surfacing materials, as well as overlaying areas where the road surface is badly out of shape with new surfacing.

The project will be completed by Friday, 01 July.
Road closures and diversions will be in place.
Head of Roads and Landscape Services, Philip McKay, said: "If the work can be completed in a shorter timescale then the road will be re-opened sooner but the work is very weather dependent, in an isolated location.
"We are also taking the chance to carry out some other programmed maintenance work to bridges and drainage, avoiding further road closures in the near future.
"The closure of this route, whenever it takes place, will cause inconvenience and delays, but we know it's important to keep it open as much as possible for the rest of the year and in a good condition. Carrying out the work now gives the best chance of completing it in the shortest possible time."
