A406 upgrades

It is absolutely ridiculous that such a strategic trunk road linking east/north/west London has so many bottlenecks, resulting in absurdly long journey times and frayed nerves. Some sections are OK (up to 5 lanes each way with underpasses and slip roads) but other sections have just one lane each way and traffic lights at busy junctions. It is long overdue. The frustrating thing is that most of the ground work has been done; houses have been bought and demolished and in the case of the Bounds Green - Green Lanes stretch there are already extra bridge 'arches' for the extra lanes to go. The main problem is Henlys Corner, especially westbound. To have 2 major road merge in and out like that is just ridiculous. either side is dual carriageway, surely even a basic 4 lane flyover would relieve things immensely. Even if all 3 of the schemes did go ahead (Bounds Green - Green Lanes, Henlys Corner and Golders Green Road) there would still not be a grade separated route from the A40 to the A406, there is an at grade signal controlled junction at IKEA (Drury Way/Brentfield Road) and there have been no plans to upgrade this. |
