If you mean the Chiswick flyover, it wasn't even part of the motorway when it was built in 1959 by Tory transport minister Ernest Marples' construction company, Marples Ridgway - it was just a flyover on the A4. You must be thinking of a different stretch of road - perhaps the Hammersmith Flyover (which *is* part of the A4). It didn't become the most easterly part of the M4 until six years later I'm sure the Chiswick Flyover was built in the 1960s (along with what was then the rest of the M4, as far as Maidenhead). It was originally going to be designated A4(M) [1] - ie, the motorway was only going to be a bypass of A4 from Chiswick to Maidenhead), but it was still a motorway.
