The Lower Thames Crossing community impacts 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, improving air quality in the region, and creating new green spaces for communities and wildlife.
We want your views on:
- our plans to build and operate the Lower Thames Crossing and how we will mitigate its impact
- changes to the project since the design refinement consultation in 2020
- how we’ve used the feedback received at each of our previous consultations to develop the project
