Closure of Hammersmith Flyover
1st-22nd August Expect severe congestion
The
A4 Hammersmith Flyover (between Macbeth Street and Colet Gardens) is scheduled
to be closed from the 1st of August 2003 to the 22nd of August 2003 for
re-waterproofing of the entire deck and structure and the installation
of a new drainage system.
There will
be night time lane closures a week before full closure to allow preparation
works. The flyover will be completely closed for the duration of the works
and the contracts allows for 24 hour working, 7 days per week with the
aim to reopen the flyover as quickly as possible.
Severe traffic congestion is anticipated on all routes leading to the
Flyover, as such, major publicity programmes are being undertaken on major
routes leading to Hammersmith including the M25 and the M4 to discourage
motorists using the A4 for the duration of works.
TfL believes the work could be completed in as little as 10-12 days but is advertising the full 22 day period as a contingency against wet weather and other delays.
