Overview
This London Assembly Research Unit paper provides an overview of the development of the Silvertown Tunnel, a new river-crossing in east London connecting North Greenwich to Silvertown, due to open in April 2025.
The paper covers the legal obligations Transport for London (TfL) had to meet during the planning and construction of the tunnel, the Development Consent Order application and the monitoring of factors such as traffic, noise and air quality surrounding the tunnel.
It also details a series of packages TfL provided to ensure the tunnel is used as intended, including new bus routes, a cycle shuttle bus and road user charging measures.
