Motorists are warned to avoid the London-bound road from White City
Part of the A40 London-bound carriageway will be closed on Tuesday 27 May due to a fuel duty protest at Marble Arch, Transport for London has warned.
The closure of the route, between White City and Edgware Road, will be in effect from 10:00 to 15:00.
Protestors will be using the road to park their HGVs and other large vehicles while they attend the central London rally.
The A40 will be closed from the northern roundabout (junction of A40 and A3220 West Cross Route) to the junction with the A5, Edgware Road.
The westbound carriageway, going out of London, will remain open.
TfL says the road will be re-opened in the early afternoon to make sure it is clear in time for the evening rush-hour traffic.
The A40 Westway is part of a free route through the Congestion Charging zone.
However, TfL says any drivers who enter the zone because of the diversions in place on Tuesday, should leave it as soon as possible by the nearest available exit.
TfL says it will try to ensure that penalty charge notices are not issued as a result of a diversion, but if motorists do receive one, they should appeal it, following the instructions on the notice.
For more information, contact the TfL traffic line on 020 7222 1234.
