Lower Thames Crossing tunneling to start in 2028

bbc.com

Tunneling for the Lower Thames Crossing, a new road link between Essex and Kent, is scheduled to commence in 2028. Negotiations are underway for a 16-meter-wide tunnel boring machine, one of the world's largest, to excavate 60 meters below the Thames. This enables private sector investment for the project's completion. Construction of the northern tunnel entrance begins next summer, with the crossing anticipated to be built in the early 2030s, creating the UK's longest road tunnel.
