Silvertown road tunnel plan in London fatally flawed, say opponents

Campaigners ask authors of two reviews of TfL finances to look again at scheme

Plans to build a four-lane road tunnel under the Thames in London should be dropped as part of an overhaul of transport spending in the capital, campaigners say.

Opponents of the proposed 1.2bn Silvertown tunnel scheme have written to the authors of two separate reviews of Transport for London finances, asking them to look again at the project.
