It is hoped the works will lower the risk of water pooling on the road surface.
Department of Transport Loddon Mallee regional director Melanie Hotton said the project will see the speed limit return to 110km/h following a final safety inspection.
"This week of warmer weather has provided us with the perfect opportunity to deliver these vital works after months of above-average rain and low temperatures," she said.
"We thank you for your patience while we complete these important safety improvements."
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a speed limit of 40km/h during the works.
A detour away from the the off-ramp to Harcourt will be in place for part of the works.
