Lower Thames Crossing

The Lower Thames Crossing is a proposed new road connecting Kent and Essex through the UK’s longest road tunnel.

Please note: this event is for over 18’s only.

The tunnel is designed to tackle congestion at the 60-year-old Dartford Crossing, make journeys across the region safer and more reliable and drive economic growth by almost doubling road capacity across the Thames east of London.

The Kent Roads section will connect the southern part of the A2/M2 route to the tunnel approach and includes the construction of Europe’s widest green bridge, 6km of new road and structures, a new public park and 12 miles of new or improved pathways for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
