The work, at the junction of Fort Road, La Route de Saumarez, Fermain Lane and Les Hubits de Bas, will be carried out immediately after Guernsey Electricity finishes the second phase of its upgrade works along Fort Road.
Those works began yesterday and are scheduled to be completed on Monday 30 November.
The States said the two jobs had been lined up back to back to avoid further disruption and unnecessary road closures in the future.
‘This new filter is another step in our work to improve the island’s transport infrastructure and road safety, supporting the objectives of the Integrated Transport Strategy,’ said Traffic and Highway Services road safety officer Paul James.
‘Filters can be an effective solution at junctions like this one, where there is limited visibility when pulling out of both Fermain Lane and Les Hubits de Bas.
A newly installed filter will help traffic move more efficiently while improving safety for all road users and reducing the risk of collisions and near misses.'
While the filter is being installed, there will be no access to or through the junction for motor vehicles, except for access to businesses and properties in Fermain Lane.
Cyclists will still be able to pass through the works with care, observing dismount signs.
Details of changes to scheduled bus routes will be available on the buses app, which can be downloaded via buses.gg.
