The work, which could take up to three weeks to complete, will be done using a night closure between 8pm and 6am. No work will be carried out on weekends or on the bank holiday.
The road will be closed in phases from the A370 hospital roundabout to Oldmixon Road (beyond the mini roundabout with Winterstoke Road). For the first few nights there will also be works taking place on the hospital roundabout under multi-way traffic signals.
The work will be completed by Wainwright, the council's resurfacing contractor.
Cllr Hannah Young, North Somerset Council's executive member with responsibility for roads said: "This is a busy road in Weston that connects two key routes in and out of the town.
"As a result it receives a huge amount of wear and tear and is in need of resurfacing. We appreciate that this will cause some disruption but we would ask people to be patient while these essential works care completed.
"I completely recognise the frustrations of our residents with the condition of our roads which is a country-wide problem. Last year the council allocated an additional £2.5m in local funds for road maintenance to the £7.5m we received direct from government for this purpose, while almost half of local authorities are cutting or freezing these budgets.
"Our new contract with Wainwright will enable us to make that money go further – but that’s against the backdrop of a £16bn national gap in funding that is needed to bring our roads back into an effective condition."
Local residents most directly affected by the scheme will receive a letter through their door.
