Lower Thames crossing announcement, 15 July 2014

The Secretary of State for Transport has today announced the governments’ response to consultation on options for a new Lower Thames Crossing.

The response sets out the decisions government has reached taking into account the numerous and diverse points raised during consultation. Namely, it

·         confirms there is a need for a new crossing,

·        advises that, as there is as yet no clear preference, government will develop and appraise route options for both location options A and C before choosing where to site a new crossing. (Option A is at the existing crossing and Option C is a new link connecting the A2/M2 with the A13 and M25), and

·        advises that government expects to consult on a proposed solution in late 2015 or early 2016.
