The westbound lane closure will be in place between 8pm and 6am on both days but the rest of the bridge will remain open to traffic during this time.
A spokesman for National Highways said: "We understand the impact that any reduction in capacity on the Orwell Bridge can have to those who rely on this iconic and important piece of road infrastructure.
"Our maintenance work is vital for the long-term operation of the bridge. We thank drivers for their patience and understanding whilst we do this work."
