The Silvertown Tunnel is a road tunnel under construction beneath the River Thames between the Greenwich Peninsula and west Silvertown.
It is being promoted by Transport for London and will be delivered through a design, build, finance and maintain contract by the Riverlinx consortium. The tunnel is intended to reduce congestion through the Blackwall Tunnel and both tunnels will be tolled when it opens in 2025.[1] The contract for construction was awarded in November 2019.
The tunnel will include dedicated lanes for heavy goods vehicles and buses. There will be no pedestrian or cycle access[2] but a shuttle bus is being considered for cyclists. All future bus routes that will use the tunnel will be zero emission.[3]
