Lower Thames Crossing

As a 14.5-mile scheme comprises two bored tunnels beneath the River Thames with interconnecting link roads to the M25, A13, and A2. At 16m in diameter, it will be one of the largest bored tunnels in the world.

The crossing will feature three lanes in both directions with a maximum speed limit of 70 mph and is the largest single road investment project in the UK since the M25 was completed more than 30 years ago.

At 2,4 miles, it will also be the longest road tunnel in the country.

The roads element of the project covers the northern link roads between the tunnel and the M25, at 15,9 km in length.

The roads element also includes the southern link roads between the tunnel and the A2 at 3 km in length. Plans to improve and widen the highway will increase capacity on the A2 and M25.
