ENGINEERS are in the midst of resurfacing the A4 with a special asphalt which reduces traffic noise.

The works, being done overnight to avoid disruption, are using a stone matrix asphalt known as superpave which provides a more flexible surface to absorb the noise of traffic, according to Transport for London who are carrying out the works between the Hogarth Roundabout and Hammersmith Flyover.

Concrete joints beneath the road are also being treated to improve stability and further reduce noise for the 90,000 motorists using that section of the A4 every day.

Lane closures and restrictions are in place between 10pm and 5am until the end of August.
