Works are underway to create a direct cycle route from Shepherds Bush tube station to the south of the borough.
Working with Transport for London, the 14-week project will help improve walking and cycling around Shepherds Bush Green.
New and improved crossing points will help manage crowds more safely. They will make it safer and easier to navigate the area for the millions of people who visit the Westfield shopping centre and our White City Innovation District each year.
Cllr Florian Chevoppe-Verdier, Cabinet Member for Public Realm, said:
We're improving the area around Shepherds Bush Green to help make H&F the best place to live, work and socialise.
Millions of people visit Westfield and our White City Innovation District every year. That's why we're working with Imperial College London to help clean our toxic air and create healthier ways to get around the borough."
Direct route to cleaner air
The works form part of our plan to clean our air and help local people make healthier transport choices across the borough.
This includes a new pedestrian crossing east of Shepherds Bush Green and safety upgrades to the Rockley Road crossing, including wider pavements and better street lighting.
The improvements will create a new cycle route connecting Shepherds Bush tube station directly to Rockley Road via Shepherds Bush Green.
It will give families and commuters a safe, direct way to cycle between north and south of the borough – something that's been missing until now.
Diversions in place
Rockley Road will be temporarily closed from Monday 18 August to Monday 15 September. Clear diversions for residents and deliveries to West12 shopping centre will run via Shepherds Bush Road and Minford Gardens.
All local shops and businesses stay accessible throughout, with temporary traffic lights managing traffic and pedestrians safely during works.
