The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) will connect to the existing road network from the A2/M2 to the M25 with two tunnels (one southbound and one northbound) running beneath the River Thames.
Local communities continue to be given the opportunity of being involved in the examination of projects that may affect them. Local people, the local authority and other Interested Parties were able to participate in this six-month Examination.
In a major speech on growing the economy earlier this year, The Chancellor highlighted the 14.3-mile LTC as an “important project”, adding that the Treasury was “exploring options” for it to be privately financed.
National Highways says the plan will almost double road capacity across the Thames east of London, describing it as “our most ambitious scheme in 35 years”.
Reeves’s signal that the Government will back the LTC will bring to an end a 15-year saga that has cost the taxpayer £300m in planning costs.
