Transport East responds to the Lower Thames Crossing consultation

The Transport East Forum has responded to the Lower Thames Crossing consultation which was launched on 10 October 2018 and which closed on 20 December 2018.

Details on the consultation can be found at: https://highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/ltc/consultation/

The Lower Thames Crossing is a proposed new motorway connecting Kent, Thurrock and Essex through a tunnel beneath the River Thames. On the north side of the Thames it will link to the A13 and junction 29 of the M25 and on the south side the new road will link to the A2 and M2 in Kent. It will provide much needed new road capacity across the river east of London and will provide quicker and more reliable journeys locally, regionally and nationally.
