The work is part of the M1 smart motorway scheme and will involve installing overhead gantries.
A Milton Keynes Council spokesman said: "Every effort has been made to reduce disruption to road users and the work will be carried out as quickly as possible.
"Weather conditions or incidents on the road may affect these planned works."
A diversion will be in place for the full closures but drivers are warned they may need to adjust their journey times.
