The Silvertown tunnel has been listed alongside an extension of the Elizabeth line and the Bakerloo line expansion as an “exemplar” project that will help to boost London’s economy.
The tunnel, a controversial £2bn PFI scheme from Mayor Sadiq Khan that eco campaigners regard as an “inner-city motorway” likely to worsen air pollution, is due to open in 2025, linking north Greenwich and the Royal Docks.
