The project is the latest in a series of upgrades that has already seen the state government invest close to $15 million on 14 kilometres of the Hume south of Gundagai since 2018.
A further $6.5 million is expected to go towards the project.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the upgrades were critical to improve the safety and efficiency of the highway for locals, travellers and the freight industry.
"We're investing in important works to ensure road users are travelling safely, communities are better connected and supply chains remain open, especially during extreme weather events," Mr Farraway said.
"The state government is building the infrastructure that matters to communities in regional NSW to improve their daily lives."
Works will be carried out from 6am to 11pm on weekdays and from 8am to 5pm on Saturdays from Monday, weather permitting.
Some night work may be required outside these hours.
