The new road tunnel will pass under the River Thames between Silvertown and north Greenwich, in London, connecting to the A1020 Silvertown Way/Lower Lea Crossing on the north side with A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach on the south side. The tunnel generally follows the alignment of the Emirates Airline cable car. The project comprises a twin bore road tunnel under the River Thames between Silvertown and north Greenwich, in east London and related highway works. Powers will also be sought to impose road user charges on users of the new tunnel and the existing Blackwall Tunnel. The main purpose of the new Tunnel is to relieve traffic congestion and improve reliability at the existing Blackwall Tunnel by providing an alternative river crossing route between the Royal Docks and Lower Lea Valley area and Greenwich Peninsula. In addition this crossing will improve the network resilience where there is an acknowledged lack of crossings and also help to support significant planned economic growth in east and south-east London over the next twenty years.
