History

When first constructed, all intersections with other roads were flat junctions with roundabouts, resulting in significant congestion at busy periods.

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.
