A40 Old Oak Common Lane 14:13 - Jan 20 with 4187 views

On top of the other works to the A40 in and around Acton, they shut the access on to the A40 west from Old Oak Common Lane on Saturday. Does any know if this is permanent? Caused big problems Saturday

It’s not permanent it was shut so they could build that bit of the cycle lane.

For about 10 cyclists a day to use no doubt.

The properties from East Acton onwards were purchased years ago with the intention of widening the A40. Now they are doing anything but.

It is only temporary for the cycle lanes.

The cycle lanes dont remove any capacity on the A40.

Even if they widened the A40 at Acton all that would happen is the queue would move down the road a bit to the next pinch point. The m25 has shown that constantly building extra capacity is pointless as it still fills up.

In recent weeks, they have shut off all access to the west bound A40 and from OOCL they have made it two lanes. I can’t see that changing back to 3. Glad the no left turn is temporary as it took me an hour and a half to get to A40 at Horn Lane on Saturday. I hope it is sorted by Friday.

looks like they're building a mini Manhatten at North Acton, about 15 tower blocks already gone up with a 50 story one in the pipeline.

I just followed the rest and ignored the no left turn sign. Easy.
