In an update from Transport for London (TfL), residents are advised that the Cromwell Railway Bridge, which carries the A4 Great West Road over the railway between Hogarth roundabout and Chiswick roundabout requires repair work and some overnight road closures this weekend.

This work is essential to improve the long-term condition of the bridge. The bridge has had no major refurbishment since it was built over 80 years ago, and is in need of urgent essential work. The work will ensure the bridge is safe for years to come and will avoid the need for more disruptive and expensive repairs at a later date.

The A4 will therefore be closed westbound between Chiswick roundabout and Hogarth roundabout on the night of 5 November, 10pm-5:00am. In addition, the A4 will be closed eastbound between M4 junction 3 and the Chiswick roundabout on the night of 6 November, 10pm-5:00am. Please follow the signed diversion routes.

The pavement on eastbound carriageway side between Oxford Road North and Harvard Hill will be closed from 7 November to 9 December. There will be signed diversion routes via the subway at Harvard Hill and the underpass on Wellesley Road. No buses will be on diversion during these works, but some journeys may take longer due to lane closures. Local journeys are likely to be quicker by foot or bike.

The latest information on these works is available on the TfL website.
