So last week Thursday out for a lunchtime stroll through the shopping centre near work, I met up with two very helpful people seeking public opinion about the proposed new road tunnels under the Thames.(Lower Thames Crossing).

After a few choice words (polite words, they are only messengers) I understand the tunnel will now be 3 lanes each way (not 2 as originally proposed), and yes a bridge would be cheaper but the tunnels look better (ie invisible), and tunnels will take longer to construct.

Not looking forwards to the delays on the A2 and M25 whilst the works are in progress, it's going to be near on 10 years before the new roads are open in the mean time the queues at Dartford will be as bad as ever, air quality from queuing traffic a hazard to health and of course a toll charge for the pleasure!

Have your say too .... Highways England - Lower Thames Crossing Statutory Consultation address
