WESTWAY FLYOVER, A40, KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA, GREATER LONDON. A man filming a convoy of official cars at the opening of the Westway Flyover from the back of a lorry on the opposite carriageway.
Work on site for the Western Avenue Extension began on 1st September 1966, and the Westway as it became known was officially opened on 28th July 1970. The elevated highway connecting the A40 at White City to Marylebone Road in Paddington, at around 2 miles, was the longest in Europe. Consulting engineers G Maunsell & Partners designed the road project for the Greater London Council and John Laing & Son undertook the construction. This photograph was taken at grid reference TQ It appeared in the September 1970 issue of Team Spirit, the Laing company newsletter
