The project will involve teams carrying out essential surfacing improvements to the A92 between Fernie Castle and Ayton, ensuring the integrity and safety of the trunk road network at this location is maintained.
The project is set to begin at 7.30pm on Friday 03 September and has been planned to take place over three days using 24-hour working, with all improvements expected to be completed by 6.30am on Monday 06 September.
To ensure roadworkers and road users are kept safe during the project, the A92 southbound will be closed at Parbroath Junction and the northbound carriageway will be closed at Melville Lodges. All traffic will be diverted along the A91 and A913 via Cupar. Residents living within the closure points will be escorted through the site when safe to do so.

Consultation has taken place will all relevant stakeholders in advance of the surfacing works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland's North East Representative, said: "This £445,000 investment from Transport Scotland will allow us to carry out surfacing improvements on this section of the A92 to ensure our network continues to operate at the highest standard.
"Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible. We've taken steps to minimise disruption for regular users as much as possible by carrying out the works over one weekend and using 24-hour working.
"We thank motorists for their patience in advance while our teams carry out these essential works on the A92. We encourage road users to plan their journeys in advance by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date traffic information and allow some extra time to reach their destination as the diversion adds some four miles."
