The Acheron Way north of Warburton will be closed during the day from Monday 30 January to Thursday 2 February for maintenance works.
The scenic road connects Donna Buang Road at Warburton to Marysville Road and the Maroondah Highway near Narbethong.
Works to improve the existing unsealed road surface will be carried out between 7.30am and 4.30pm daily.
VicRoads director of operations Michael Barker said detour routes would be in place, but given the location, any detours would add significant travel time onto a journey.
“Detour routes include Maroondah Highway, Donna Buang Road or Warburton Highway, but they all require extra travel time of up to 45 minutes to an hour,” Mr Baker said.
Mr Baker said the works were necessary to improve the road surface and to reduce ongoing grading and minimise future traffic disturbances.
Access will be allowed for local emergency services if required.
