Lower Thames Crossing – Local Refinement Consultation Open Until 20th June 2022

Visit our consultation website here.

A new consultation has started on some proposed changes to the Lower Thames Crossing, as we prepare to submit our application for a Development Consent Order later this year.

We are seeking your feedback on:

• Changes to the design of a new public park on the north bank of the Thames (Tilbury Fields) to make space for the planned Thames Freeport
• Modified access to the northern tunnel entrance, providing safer operation of the tunnel facilities and better access for emergency services
• More public open space to the east of the tunnel entrance in Kent, connected to Chalk Park – the proposed new public park overlooking the Thames
• Replacing an existing slip road with a new link from the Orsett Cock roundabout to the A1089 in Thurrock to reduce traffic impacts on some local roads
• A new footbridge over the A127 in Havering and improvements to pathways for walkers, cyclists and horse riders including better bridleway connections around the A2 junction and the A226 in Gravesham
• Further improvements to landscaping proposals
• Our plans for the changes needed to utilities in the local area
• Additional environmental compensation and mitigation
• Refinements to the Order Limits, the land needed to build and operate the new road, as a result of proposed changes
