Haven Bridge, in Great Yarmouth, will be closed eastbound from Monday, November 16 to Thursday, November 19, from 8pm to 6am each night.
The work will repair loose areas of blockwork on the bridge deck surface, and follows test lifts of the 90-year-old bridge earlier this week.
Westbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane, but pedestrian access over the bridge will be unaffected.
The diversion route for traffic will be via A1243 Pasteur Road, A12 (via Breydon Bridge), A149 Acle New Road and B1141 North Quay.
Norfolk County Council said it wanted to thank people for their patience while the work is carried out.

The bridge has been unable to lift for some time, blocking access for larger vessels due to an electrical fault.
