The Silvertown Tunnel, a designated Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NISP), will be the first new road crossing east of Tower Bridge since the Dartford Crossing was built over 30 years ago.
The tunnel will have a dedicated lane for buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles, meaning there will be a significant increase in the number of buses crossing the river and much greater opportunity to use public transport. Buildings above the tunnel entrances, and plans to improve walking, cycling and the urban environment, are also part of the major regeneration of both sides of the river.
During this site visit attendees will have the chance to walk through the close-to-completed tunnel and discuss the design, construction, and operations with the project team.
