As part of the staggered zebra crossing scheme on this section of road, a high friction surface will be laid on the carriageway on both approaches to the crossings.
The new crossing at the top of Aylestone Hill will be a major help to pedestrians wanting to cross at this difficult junction.
The work is to be carried out on a Sunday to minimise the disruption to road users.
To allow this work to be undertaken safely, traffic will be reduced to single lane through the use of a four-way traffic signal system.
This method of traffic management is intended to provide a safe area in which the council's contractors can undertake the required works.
The authority would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to roads users and would ask that road users bear with us while this important work is undertaken.
