The amount of cross-river traffic in east and south-east London has increased at weekends since Sir Sadiq Khan’s £2.2 billion Silvertown tunnel opened.
There has also been a 10% increase in weekday traffic at the Rotherhithe tunnel – and a huge increase in motorists using the free Woolwich ferry to avoid paying tolls of up to £4 a day at the Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels.
