Default Hows Hammersmith going?

Well, I am back in town, boy is it hot!

I arrived late last night (by car) so no real problem, but I have yet
to venture out. So does anyone know how its going with the overpass
closure? I have been reading around, people seem to be thinking its
not too bad - I guess everyone is on holiday so it probably is the
best time to do it.

What do people reckon though? I have to take someone to the airport
tommorow for a 6 oclock flight. How much time should I leave? (Going
from Hammersmith)


Generally, the traffic has been better than some people expected. However,

(a) I know that last Tuesday evening (5 Aug), after good rush hours on
Monday and Tuesday morning, there were bad jams on the A4 and Chiswick High
Road that didn't clear until 21:00.

(b) This morning (Mon 11 Aug) at 10:15, there were still jams on the A4 back
to the Hogarth Roundabout, and queues back to there on the alternative
routes through Chiswick.


Plan B perhaps? (Piccadilly Line)
