The A171 between Scarborough and Whitby, along with the B1416 from Ruswarp to the A171, will reopen, although a 30mph speed limit will be in place in sections.
The speed limit will be in place to keep everyone safe (shown in red).
The roads have been closed since the early hours of Tuesday 26th August.
North Yorkshire Council say:
"Please stick to this speed limit as the fire is still ongoing and emergency services are still working in the area.
There may be smoke reducing visibility, mud on the road from the ongoing work and our sweepers may be on the road cleaning this up.
Laybys will be closed, please keep moving and do not stop to look at the fire.
Police will be patrolling the area.
Thank you for your patience."
The council say that The Falling Foss and May Beck car parks in Sneaton Forest remain closed while the firefighting continues.
Minor roads that lead directly into the moors will remain closed until further notice.
This was the scene from the A171 in the early hours of Tuesday 26th August, shortly before the road was closed:
