Silvertown Tunnel Project.

Tender description

Transport for London (TfL) is looking to enter a competitive procurement process with a view to awarding a long-term availability contract for the design, build, finance and maintenance of a new river crossing between Silvertown and Greenwich Peninsula in east London. The river crossing, to be called Silvertown Tunnel, will comprise of a twin bore road tunnel alongside Blackwall Tunnel with connections to the A1020 Silvertown Way/Lower Lea Crossing at the north and to the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach at the south. It is proposed that user charging will be applied to manage congestion and help fund the scheme. TfL may also consider other commercial arrangements relating to the provision of the tunnel where these can be demonstrated to provide value for money.
