Wolverhampton Council said the work is for the replacement of the cover frame in Vaughan Road in Portobello in Willenhall on December 7.
This project will mean that the road will be closed in both directions between 9.30am and 3.30pm. There will be a diversion route in place via Hill Road, Mosley Road and Dilloways Lane and vice versa.
The work is being carried out on by Severn Trent Water.
