"Stuart Harvey, TfL's chief capital officer, expressed gratitude to road users and local communities for their patience during the essential work on one of London's busiest routes."
"The A40 has deteriorated significantly since its opening in 1970, necessitating a speed limit reduction from 40mph to 30mph to protect ageing expansion joints."
"Major repair work was crucial to prevent significant future impacts on the road, which is vital for daily commuters and local traffic."
The A40 in west London will reopen on Tuesday evening after being closed for major repairs since March 20. Transport for London (TfL) announced that some sections will still close on weekends until July for minor works. The elevated motorway, used by approximately 100,000 cars daily, has deteriorated since its opening in 1970, leading to a speed limit reduction in 2020. Major repairs included replacing two joints to ensure safe expansion and contraction of the structure.
