The A1 in North Yorkshire will be closed in both directions for 34 hours from 20:00 GMT on Saturday to enable a road bridge to be demolished.
The Highways Agency, external said the closure was from junction 51 (Leeming Bar) to Scotch Corner until 06:00 on Monday.
The demolition of Fort Bridge, Catterick, is part of the £380m upgrade of a 12-mile (19.3km) stretch of the A1 between Leeming Bar and Barton.

The Highways Agency said the closure was "essential". It said there would be diversions, but warned drivers of delays at peak times.
