Lower Thames Crossing

Local refinement consultation

The Lower Thames Crossing is the most ambitious road project in a generation – a new connection between Kent, Thurrock, Essex and Havering through the longest road tunnel in the UK beneath the River Thames.

It will improve your journey by almost doubling road capacity across the River Thames east of London, as well as supporting jobs and creating new green spaces for communities and wildlife.

This consultation is about improving the project for local people and includes:

  • the re-design of Tilbury Fields
  • increasing the amount of open space south of the river by adding land to the east of Chalk Park
  • a new link road from the Orsett Cock junction to the A1089 southbound
  • a new bridge over the A127 for walkers, cyclists and horse riders
  • modified access to the northern tunnel entrance, providing safer operation of the tunnel facilities and better access for the emergency services
  • additional environmental compensation
