Work to make safety improvements to a major route is due to start.
Wiltshire Council is planning to upgrade parts of the A3102 through Royal Wootton Bassett and Calne, as part of the £7m Safer Road Scheme.
The project includes the installation of new signage, road markings, new pedestrian and cycling facilities and redesigning some junctions.
Councillor Nick Holder apologised for "any inconvenience caused by this work" and said the council aims to complete the work "as quickly as possible".
Work has recently begun on pedestrian and cycling infrastructure improvements including the extension of a shared use path from Coped Hall Business Park to Aldi.
Following this, in spring work will begin to improve side-road crossings along the A3102 at Marlowe Way and Longleaze, with road closures of both side roads in place for two weeks.
In June, Coped Hall roundabout will be resurfaced, however the council said this will not take place immediately as there may be further utilities works in the area.
Mr Holder said the plan to improve the safety of the route is "important".
"In total, there are more than 35 different improvements taking place on the length of A3102 as part of the Safer Roads Scheme," he said.
"These interventions will help to reduce accidents on the road and make it safer for all road users, including pedestrians.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this work. We want to complete the work as quickly as possible."
