In Weymouth, night works will commence on November 23, scheduled to be completed by November 27.
The affected roads include Chickerell Road and Abbotsbury Road, with operations set to take place between 8pm and 6am.
The closures are to facilitate carriageway surfacing and lining works, and a diversion route will be implemented to guide traffic around the closed sections.
In Portland, temporary traffic management will come into force from November 30 until December 4.
The works, which involve carriageway repairs, will lead to the daily closure of Wide Street and Weston Road between 9am and 4pm.
The roads will remain open overnight and at weekends.
The council has advised Portland residents to adhere to the temporary no-stopping orders placed on parts of Wide Street and Weston Road.
Vehicles parked in contravention of these restrictions risk being removed under the provisions of the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986.
Meanwhile, in Winterborne Whitechurch, various roads will be temporarily closed from November 30 to provide Wessex Internet with a safe working area to install ducting for fibre cabling.
The roads affected include Fields Close, Whatcombe Lane, Rook Lane, and Lower Street.
Alternative vehicular routes will be signed where possible.
However, Dorset Council has noted that no diversion route will be available for the closure of Fields Close.
In all affected areas, Dorset Council has reminded residents and motorists that any person using or permitting the use of a vehicle in contravention of the notice will face a summary conviction and a fine not exceeding £1,000.
The council has assured residents that the closures are necessary to comply with health and safety regulations, which require safe working areas and aim to minimise danger to highway users.
All listed orders will remain in force for up to 18 months, although the council anticipates that the works will be completed much sooner.
