"The A40 Westway is a long raised dual carriageway that runs from Paddington to North Kensington, and was constructed in the 1960s as part of the fortunately cancelled Inner Ring Road."
"Today, the Westway is London's second busiest road after the Brent Cross junction, carrying around 96,000 vehicles per day, and it handles a lot more road freight than Brent Cross."
"Transport for London has been planning and carrying out a major repair and replacement project all along the 2.5-mile elevated section of the truck road."
"Some of the teeth can bend out of shape, and if one gets pushed upwards, it can affect the vehicles driving over them."
The A40 Westway, London's second-busiest road, is closed for major repairs. Constructed in the 1960s, it carries around 96,000 vehicles daily. Transport for London has been planning a repair project for the elevated section, focusing on replacing worn-out road joints. The work is primarily conducted during weekends and overnight to reduce disruption. The road joints, essential for maintaining infrastructure, have suffered from bending and wear due to heavy freight traffic, necessitating urgent maintenance to ensure safety for vehicles.
