WESTWAY FLYOVER, A40, KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA, GREATER LONDON. Two workers stressing the longitudinal soffit cables inside the box section of the deck units of the Westway Flyover.
The individual deck units of the flyover are tied together with steel cables and only when these are stressed and tightened does each span act as a single self-supporting structure. Each span of the flyover contains 53 km of cabling. The cables are each made up of twelve 16 mm thick strands

1970s Construction Flyover Road Transport


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense work of two dedicated workers as they stress and tighten the longitudinal soffit cables inside the box section of the deck units of the iconic Westway Flyover in Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London. The Westway Flyover stands as a testament to engineering brilliance, where each individual deck unit is intricately tied together with robust steel cables. It is only when these cables are meticulously stressed and tightened that each span transforms into a single self-supporting structure, ensuring safe passage for countless vehicles. Spanning across this remarkable flyover are an astonishing 53 kilometers of cabling, showcasing the immense scale and complexity involved in its construction. Each cable consists of twelve strands measuring an impressive 16 millimeters in thickness. Dating back to the 1970s, this photograph not only encapsulates a significant moment in history but also highlights the ingenuity behind this vital piece of infrastructure. The dedication displayed by these workers serves as a reminder of their commitment to creating enduring structures that shape our modern world. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this image offers us a glimpse into an era defined by progress and innovation. Let it serve as a tribute to those who have contributed their expertise towards building essential road networks that connect communities far and wide.
