The Lower Thames Crossing online consultation, which closed on
the 20.12.2018, has seen over 26,000 replies. The consultation is arguably the
most significant that has ever been held into a UK road scheme. The next stage
of the project’s development will be to work through people’s comments in
detail and use them to produce an updated design which will be submitted to the
Planning Inspectorate for planning consent. Subject to statutory processes
construction could start in 2022, with the new road opening to traffic in
2027.Click here for the tunnelbuilder archive and also visit https://www.gov.uk/government/news/26000-share-their-views-in-thames-crossing-consultation.
