Transport for London (TfL) has announce that work to replace the joints linking sections of elevated section of the A40 Westway will continue for seven months when it resumes in November.

From 8 November to 25 November, the eastbound stretch of the A40 Westway is shut from Wood Lane and the A3320 Westway roundabout right through to the Marylebone flyover, every weekend from 10pm on Fridays to 5am on Mondays.

However, roadworks will be lifted between the end of November and early January to reduce disruption in the run up to Christmas.

Then in May it will be the turn of the westbound A40 traffic to be diverted. The road will remain open in both directions on weekdays.

The 50-year-old expansion joints, which allow the flyover to expand and contract with the weather, have reached the end of their useful life according to TfL.

Roadworks are being focused on weekends to limit disruption to side streets and TfL has pledged that residents will be kept updated, and nighttime noise and light will be limited.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
