Part of the $315-million Pacific Highway bypass at Bulahdelah will open at the end of the month, to help ease congestion for Easter and school holiday traffic.
The temporary measures will see two north-bound lanes created by diverting traffic onto one of the new bypass lanes.
South-bound traffic will still be restricted to one lane through the town.
The 8.6-kilometre bypass was due to open by Easter, but persistent wet weather and resource shortages have delayed the opening until June.
