The Westway is a 2.5 mile-long elevated dual carriageway section of the A40 route in central London running from Paddington to North Kensington. The road was constructed from 1964 to 1970 to relieve congestion at Shepherd's Bush caused by traffic from Western Avenue struggling to enter central London on roads of insufficient capacity. The Westway opened in July 1970.

At its eastern end, the Westway formally starts to the west of the Marylebone Flyover (A501) which takes traffic over the junction of Edgware Road (A5) and Marylebone Road (A501). Between the elevated Westway and Flyover, a short (100 metre) section of surface-level road allows westbound traffic from the Flyover to turn-off on to the Harrow Road (A404) or eastbound traffic from the Harrow Road to access the Flyover. Eastbound traffic from the Westway cannot exit here to reach the Edgware Road and continues directly on to the Flyover.

Heading west, the Westway rises sharply as it passes Paddington Green (at this point having two lanes in each direction), then crosses the Grand Union Canal branch to Paddington Basin just south of Little Venice. As the road passes Westbourne Green on the north and Royal Oak Underground Station on the south, it gains a lane as a steeply climbing slip-road from Gloucester Terrace joins. In the eastbound direction, a lane is lost as a slip-road descends to cross the National Rail tracks to Paddington station via the large plate-girder Westbourne Bridge - a road that previously carried traffic from Harrow Road to Bishops Bridge Road but was blocked at the north end and appropriated for the Westway scheme.

Continuing westward, the Westway runs parallel with the mainline for about 0.5 miles before turning south-west at Westbourne Park and crossing the railway to run immediately adjacent to London Underground's Hammersmith and City Line for 0.75 miles as far as Ladbroke Grove station after which it returns to a more east-west alignment for the 0.5 miles to the elevated roundabout junction with the West Cross Route (A3220) and flyover which takes vehicles high above the roundabout and Wood Lane (A219) to return to ground level and connect to the end of Western Avenue.

The route of the Westway was chosen to follow the easiest path from Western Avenue to Paddington by following the route of existing railway lines but, nonetheless, passing an eight lane elevated motorway through densely populated Victorian North Kensington involved the clearance of a large number of buildings adjacent to the railway, particularly in the area west of Westbourne Park where many roads were unceremoniously truncated or demolished to make way for the concrete structures.

At its opening the road was the largest continuous concrete structure in Britain and was constructed with many advanced features such as heating grids on slopes to control the formation of ice, however, it was planned and constructed in an era before environmental impacts were routinely considered and the road caused much controversy at the time for the affects it and the vehicles it carried had upon the local community and the environment.

The Westway was intended to form part of a complex and comprehensive plan for a network of high speed roads circling and radiating out from central London designed to manage and control the flow of traffic within the capital. This plan had developed from early schemes prior to the Second World War through Patrick Abercrombie's County of London Plan, 1943 and Greater London Plan, 1944 to a 1960s Greater London Council (GLC) scheme that would have involved the construction of many miles of motorway standard roads across the city and demolition on a massive scale.
