Work to remove the two bridges that link the Broadmarsh car park to the shopping centre will begin this evening.
It means Collin Street and Maid Marian Way southbound at its junction with Friar Lane will be closed between 20:00 and 08:00 tonight and on Saturday.
The work is set to be completed by Sunday and is the latest stage in a multi-million pound redevelopment of the area.

Singer Sam Bailey says she is still suffering after being knocked out by a loft ladder at her home in Leicester earlier this week.
The former X Factor winner was taken to hospital with concussion on New Year's Day after the accident happened while she was retrieving a suitcase.
Last night she told her Twitter followers that sneezing "felt like someone had whacked my head with a sledgehammer".
The injury has prevented her from performing in panto at Leicester's De Montfort Hall but show bosses say they're hopeful she will be able to return before its run ends on Sunday.
