Oakley Way and Firs Road in Caldicot to close for work
The closure affects a 45-metre stretch of Oakley Way, starting 40 metres east from its junction with Sycamore Avenue.
A 15-metre section of Firs Road, from its junction with Oakley Way, will also be shut.
The council says the work is necessary to ensure the roads are resurfaced safely.
Access will still be available for residents living on the affected roads during the closure.
A diversion route will be in place and clearly signposted.
The route will take drivers via Beech Road, Parc Road, and Firs Road.
The council has issued the order under Section 14(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The order comes into force on Thursday, July 17, and will remain in effect for a maximum of 18 months or until the work is completed, whichever is sooner.
However, it is anticipated that the work will be completed within the two-day timeframe.
The council has warned that anyone who contravenes a restriction or prohibition imposed under Section 14 of the Act will be guilty of an offence.
The announcement was made by Carl Touhig, head of neighbourhood services for Monmouthshire County Council.
The council has advised residents and commuters to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.

How many points do you get on your licence for speeding?
Speeding is classed as an offence under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Speed limits help keep people safe, and safety is paramount when on the road for all users. Speeding can ruin lives – the faster a vehicle travels, the greater the force of impact in a crash, and the more severe the injuries or even death that can occur. How many points do you get on your licence for speeding? The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence. The Government website states that you could be disqualified from driving if you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years. You can also check your driving licence record online to see if you have points on your licence. What happens if a speed camera flashes you? If you're caught by a speed camera, then usually within a few weeks of your car being caught speeding you'll be sent a: Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) Section 172 notice You must return the Section 172 notice within 28 days, telling the police who was driving the car. You may have to go to court if you ignore the notice, the Government website advises. After you've sent the Section 172 notice back, you'll be sent either a: Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) letter telling you to go to court If you're still within two years of passing your driving test, your driving licence will be revoked (taken away) if you build up six or more penalty points. How long do points stay on your driving licence? The RAC notes that penalty points will remain on your driving licence for three years. 'They will also remain on your driving record from 4 to 11 years, depending on the severity of the conviction,' they say. 'You can be disqualified from driving if you acquire 12 or more penalty points within three years.' Your driving licence will also have a code on it for four years. Each endorsement has a special code and is given 'penalty points' on a scale from one to 11. (You get more points for more serious offences). Recommended reading: You if you are caught speeding then you may be given the option of attending a speed awareness course if: the police decide it's appropriate for your offence you have not been on a speed awareness course in the past three years Speeding is dangerous for many reasons, and you could be endangering your own life as well as the lives of others. Stay focused on your own driving and the road ahead – remembering to adjust your speed in different weather conditions.
