In their infinite wisdom (sic) TfL have decided to build 3.5km of shared use and cycle track on the southern side of the A40/Western Avenue from Acton (Kathleen Avenue) to Wood Lane (near White City). Work will start on 18 March 2019.
From 8 April 2019, the A40 will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes for westbound traffic, 24 hours a day during works.
They admit that traffic on the periphery, is likely to be highly affected with westbound queuing expected to be longer, especially in the evening rush hours (which incidentally start round about 3 pm).
TfL offer this advice to drivers on their website :
Driving through the area
Expect delays while travelling westbound on the A40 from 8 April, especially during PM peak periods (weekdays 14:00 - 18:00pm). Plan ahead, travel outside peak periods, and leave extra time for your journey.
Consider alternative ways of travelling, especially the Tube.
Local traffic
If you are driving, plan ahead, travel outside peak periods, and allow more time for your journey.
Consider alternative ways of travelling, especially the Tube and cycling. (Shows they have a sense of humour, but A40 commuters are not laughing)
Deliveries and servicing
Speak to your supplier about whether they can re-time deliveries and servicing trips to outside PM peak hours.
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT:
Does anyone remember seeing a consultation about the need for a segregated cycle lane on this part of a busy clearway ???
