Resurfacing and structural repairs will be carried out on the stretch from the Warstones Road roundabout junction to the Dudley boundary up to September 30, and on the stretch between the Dudley and Worcestershire boundaries between September 20 and October 3.
The works will pave the way for full resurfacing of both stretches in summer 2023.

Work will only be carried out between 9.30am and 3pm on weekdays to minimise disruption.
Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for highways and transport David Williams said: "We're pleased to start this vital repair work on what is a busy stretch of the A449 in South Staffordshire, particularly between the Warstones Road and Wodehouse Lane roundabout junctions.
"We understand defects have been a concern to local road users and so have acted as quickly as possible to schedule in the repairs.
"Safety on our roads is a top priority to us so we know how important these works are. They will pave the way for full resurfacing next summer – giving lasting protection to the road, help to prevent future defects and significantly improve skid resistance."
