Between November 2024 and May 2025 there will be weekend directional closures of the A40 Westway elevated section between the Westway roundabout and Marylebone flyover. Access to and from the A40 & A3220 will be maintained.
Works will take place from 22:00 Friday to 05:00 Monday each weekend but will not take place between end of November 2024 and the New Year. A summary is below:

Eastbound closures of the A40 from the Westway Roundabout – Wood Lane to Marylebone Flyover.
The road will reopen on Monday 25 November to minimise disruption during the festive season, with weekend closures resuming on Friday 3 January 2025.
Signed diversion routes will be in place but local roads are expected to be extremely busy.
Use alternative routes such as the A312 The Parkway or the A406 North Circular Road for connections with the A4.
