"The elevated road between the Westway roundabout and the Marylebone flyover, which handles nearly 100,000 vehicles per day, has been shut since 20th March for major repair work to the expansion joints, which had worn out, as well as a range of other smaller repairs."
"Alongside the expansion joint replacement, engineers have used the closure to carry out additional works to reduce future disruption. This has included resurfacing more than a kilometre of carriageway in both directions and drainage maintenance."
"While the main closure is ending, TfL has warned that further, smaller-scale works will still be needed. These will take place over four weekends starting from Friday 24th April and are expected to finish by June - a month earlier than originally planned."
"Stuart Harvey, TfL's Chief Capital Officer, said: 'We're pleased to confirm that the A40 Westway will be open to the public from this evening. We know the full closure has caused disruption, and I'd like to thank road users and local communities for their patience while this essential work was completed to one of London's busiest routes.'"
The A40 Westway, London's second-busiest road, will reopen tonight after a month-long closure for major repairs. The closure, which began on March 20, was necessary for replacing worn-out expansion joints and conducting additional maintenance. Engineers also resurfaced over a kilometer of carriageway and performed drainage maintenance during this time. Although the main closure is ending, Transport for London has indicated that smaller-scale works will continue over four weekends starting April 24, with less impact on traffic. Drivers are advised to check travel conditions ahead of time.
