A spokesman for Essex Highways said in a letter to residents: "These works are being carried out by CountyRoute, the operator of the A130, working closely with Essex County Council.
"Activities will be phased to maximise efficiency and minimise inconvenience for road users and local communities.
"These works are weather dependent.
"Conditions will be assessed by County Route closer to the planned dates and, if the works cannot proceed safely or effectively due to the weather, the programme may be postponed or amended."
A signed diversion will be in place via the A12 and A127 at Gallows Corner.
Essex Highways encourages all drivers to follow signage and allow extra time for their journeys.
A spokesman for Essex Highways says: "Please be aware that some drivers may choose alternative local routes which may result in increased traffic on surrounding roads.
"Drivers are advised to plan ahead, allow additional time for their journeys and follow temporary signage in place.
"CountyRoute will monitor conditions and seek to minimise disruption wherever possible."
