The M621 is set to reopen this week after National Highways carried out a series of major improvement works to key junctions and slip roads.
Improvements to the carriageway promise to ease congestion, increase capacity and enhance safety.
The busy stretch of road had been closed between junctions 1 and 7 from 8pm each night since August 9.
The scheme will see additional lanes added at the junction 2 roundabout and junction 3 westbound while new average speed cameras and overhead electronic information signs will be added between junctions 2 and 3.
Elsewhere, a dozen city centre services have returned to their regular routes after North Street reopened.
Services had faced diversion as a result of emergency repairs to a burst water main.
