History

When first constructed, all intersections with other roads were flat junctions with roundabouts, resulting in significant congestion at busy periods. Now the Greenford Road junction is a flyover where Western Avenue is taken over the Greenford Road; all the other junctions take Western Avenue under the crossing road. The last junction to be improved was the Master Brewer lights at the junction with Long Lane, Hillingdon. Here the work diverted Western Avenue to the north of the old line of the road, taking it under both Long Lane and the Uxbridge branch of the Metropolitan Line; Hillingdon London Underground Station was rebuilt as part of the work.
