Road workers have switched off the permanent lights at the Coton Hill junction with Berwick Road in Shrewsbury to enable the work to take place.
Even at midday on Mondaythe traffic was queuing in both directions, including as far back as the Greenfields Spar shop in Ellesmere Road.
The council has advised drivers to seek other ways to get into town this week, including by walking, cycling and driving the long way round into town.
Shropshire Council says the works are needed after a crash left the authority concerned that the wall could collapse into the carriageway.
The temporary traffic lights are set to remain in use until Friday, August 16.
There will be a 'traffic management' operative on site between 7am and 7pm each day to monitor and react to any traffic delays by adjusting the timings on the temporary signals.
