I was on site a decade ago with the steel section of the M4 in Boston Manor Park. It is suffering from Corrosion and metal fatigue but is much more accessible.

It is also by nature of its structure much more noisy than the concrete section. Even without the addition of the A4 below.

For those with long memories, when the flyover was under construction in the 1960s. all the roads crossing remained open, day and night. No bus routes were delayed or diverted and traffic was even then heavy. there were far more HGVs and trucks back then being very industrial and at all hours with the market traffic at night and early hours.  Yet it was all well managed.

The mess at South Ealing road now permeates right up to Gillette Corner even on Sunday mornings. TfL have messed with traffic lights at GSK and BMR to try and regulate the BMR ro South Ealing  Rd section, but it clearly does not work. It is far, far worse since they meddles with it and it needs sorting.  The delays and regular diversions and curtailments by bus are ridiculous and TfL have the audacity to blame and penalise the bus operator.  It can not be anything other than deliberate.
