About
Transport for London awarded a long-term availability contract to Riverlinx Limited for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of a new river crossing between Silvertown and Greenwich Peninsula in east London.
The crossing, named Silvertown Tunnel, comprises a twin-bore road tunnel alongside the Blackwall Tunnel with connections to the A1020 Silvertown Way/Lower Lea Crossing at the north and the A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach at the south.
The contract was awarded through a competitive procurement process and is valued at £1,200,000,000.
User charging will be applied to manage congestion and help fund the scheme, though this does not form part of the contract.
