Roadworks linked to the building of a new supermarket will start next week causing traffic disruption over the coming five months.
Sainsbury's is currently developing a store on the site on the former GE lighting factory in Melton Road, Rushey Mead, Leicester.
As part of the project a series of changes will be made to key junctions nearby to create new entry and exit points for the supermarket.
Works will take place at two junctions - the Melton Road/Troon Way/Watermead Way Junction, and the junction of Nicklaus Road/Troon Way and Gleneagles Avenue.
Leicester City Council has said construction will start on Tuesday, May 28, and will be carried out in phases until November in order to minimise the disruption to traffic.
The redevelopment and road improvements will mean a series of temporary lane closures, road closures and temporary traffic management during various stages of the works.
Signs will be put in place to warn drivers of likely disruption.
City Mayor Peter Soulsby said: "I'd ask people to bear with us while these junction improvements take place, and can assure motorists that we will do everything we can to keep the impact on traffic to a minimum."
The outlined changes include creating new access to the store from the southbound carriageway of Melton Road, new toucan and pedestrian crossings, better street lighting, and a range of improvements to the carriageway, pavement and landscaping.
There will also be a new left turn slip lane from Melton Road to Troon Way, an extra right turn lane from Troon Way to Melton Road, and an additional right turn lane from Melton Road to Watermead Way.
A bus lane will be included on Melton Road, and additional bus stops added at Troon Way itself.
The supermarket is set to open later this year.
