Scheme Outline
Upgrade of an existing single-carriageway stretch of A406 North Circular Road to a dual carriageway standard. This Transport for London project is a watered down version of the improvements planned but never implemented by the Highways Agency. It involves less property demolition and is a fraction of the cost, but is unlikely to be grade-separated. Even so, any extra capacity here is welcome - it is currently a single-carriageway section of an otherwise dualled and grade-separated road in a busy urban area.

Progress
| 14 June 2005 | Scheme will now definitely go ahead. There is much local opposition to the scheme as it will not accommodate future growth - public feeling is very much in favour of the original grade separated plan. |
|---|---|
| 14 March 2006 | Transport for London has now announced another review of the scheme and it is back on hold. |
| 14 March 2007 | The watered-down scheme, to dual the road and install improved signalised junctions, is now back on and is due to start in 2009, due to be completed in 2011. |
| 30 January 2010 | Preparatory work is now well underway with road closures and diversions on weekends. |
| 19 July 2010 | Long-term road closures and diversions come into force on 24 May 2010 to allow construction to get underway. The work is expected to continue until spring 2012. |
