Westway, London
Westway
is a long elevated
dual carriageway
section of the
A40
trunk road
in west
London
running from
Paddington
to
North Kensington
. The road was constructed between 1964 and 1970 to relieve congestion at
Shepherd's Bush
caused by traffic from
Western Avenue
struggling to enter central London on roads of insufficient capacity. Westway opened in July 1970 as the
A40(M)
motorway but lost motorway status in 2000 when responsibility for trunk roads in
Greater London
was transferred from the
Highways Agency
to the
Greater London Authority
.
