What we are doing
Utility works on the A40 Western Avenue
We wrote to you in April about works on the A40 Western Avenue planned between 6 May and 30 September 2024. Due to ongoing works on the road network in Ealing, the start date for the works on the A40 Western Avenue has changed.
We are now planning to start our works on the A40 Western Avenue from 27 May until late-October 2024. The works will be located between Alperton Lane and Hanger Lane Gyratory.
On 20, 21 and 22 May from 10pm to 5am, an overnight lane closure will be in place on the A40 Western Avenue to install cameras.
Temporary changes to A40 tunnels
We will need to close the A40 tunnels overnight while the contraflow system is introduced, for safety reasons. This is during the first phase of the works. The tunnels will be closed overnight from 10pm to 6am with all traffic diverted via Hanger Lane Gyratory. You can view details about traffic management planned during each phase of the works via the link to the presentation in the link below.
We are not planning to close the tunnels during the remainder of the works. If there are any changes to our planned traffic management, we will provide updates via the HS2 in your area map.
We will continue working with utility providers, Transport for London and Ealing Council to coordinate works on the local road network, wherever possible.
