Interesting to read in the current context of the Silvertown tunnel currently being built despite complaints from both sides of the river and an admission from TFL that it may make traffic worse south of the river.

Not to mention the fact that cyclists can’t use the tunnel…

I wonder about whether the Silvertown Tunnel will make the average traffic worse but the worst case traffic better.

Currently, if the Blackwall tunnel closes, traffic basically grinds to a halt across a huge part of SE London. I was taking my dying bunny to the vet the other month and a trip that normally takes under ten minutes took forty due to the Blackwall tunnel being closed, even though I'm all the way back in Hither Green.

Nevertheless, I would have preferred they built one of the many proposed pedestrian/cycling bridges...

To be fair the congestion in that area is also because of a significant number of the side roads across Lewisham/Greenwich having been closed to enable the low traffic neighbourhoods - much needed but making congestion awful as a consequence.

I shouldn't laugh, but that's a strong 30-50 feral hog vibes from your vet visit ha.
