The other evening I found it quicker to walk from Alperton to Wembley Park as the traffic was so snarled up along the High Road. The condition of the High Road is poor and badly in need of resurfacing and fresh road markings, but such work is bound to be disruptive.
There are two sections of the High Road that are currently being considered for works. The A404 High Road Wembley from Park Lane to Ealing Road is on Brent Council's 2023-24 resurfacing programme and due to be completed by the end of the financial year (March 2024).
Detailed investigations of underlying issues of the Park Lane to Wembey Triangle section are underway and there are some design risks to be mitigated before 'substantial' remedial works can start. Brent Council says these works have not yet been scheduled and will need to be done at a favourable time of the year, probably summertime.
Meanwhile the High Road is inspected each month and any intervention level defects identified for repair according to priority.
Put on your walking shoes!
