Wembley High Road has reopened nearly a month ahead of schedule, with the final surface due to be completed by Friday 18 April.
The road was closed for major engineering works that included structural improvements to the entire road and repairs to a drainage system that had been causing frequent potholes and surface damage.
Contractors G W Highways LTD carried out the works and recycled around 4,500 tonnes of material in the process.
During the upgrade, workers also uncovered a long-forgotten tram line that once ran the length of the road.
The road will remain open throughout the day from 14 April, with overnight works (8pm to 5am) taking place to lay the final surface layer.
Councillor Krupa Sheth, Cabinet Member for Public Realm and Enforcement, said: “I am incredibly grateful to Wembley residents and businesses for their patience as we undertook this once-in-a-generation upgrade and investment into Wembley High Road.
“I am delighted that we can open Wembley High Road an entire month early, which is a testament to the hard graft of our contractor, G W Highways. I know road works are disruptive for everyone, but with this upgrade now complete, this route will be protected for years to come and help keep Brent on the move.”
