The closures are to allow a 40-strong workforce to replace two 22-metre long steel expansion joints. The joints are vital to allow the flyover to cope with temperature change.

Leon Daniels, Managing Director of Surface Transport at Transport for London, said: "We're sorry for the disruption this vital refurbishment of the Staples Corner Flyover will cause. We will be working as fast as we can to replace the expansion joints, which is essential to extend the life span of the flyover. During the closures road users in the area should allow more time for their journeys and, where possible, consider alternative routes."
