A market engagement notice, external published on behalf of National Highways states the estimated contract for the scheme would begin in January 2028 and is set to end in January 2038.
The scheme is designed to cut congestion on this stretch of the A38, where local traffic meets vehicles travelling between Birmingham and the M1.
It will use a series of flyovers and underpasses to allow traffic to flow more freely.
Public consultation on how to improve the road started in 2001, but has been repeatedly paused, leading to the plans being redesigned and then challenged in court by campaigners.
According to National Highways, construction of the scheme is expected to last four years, and once complete, contractors would remain responsible for landscape aftercare.
The body added it was hoped a contractor would be appointed 18 months before work starts.
