Скачать или смотреть Silvertown Tunnel: Has Sadiq Khan's £2.2billion scheme ended rush-hour jams?

Campaigners opposed to Sir Sadiq Khan’s £2.2bn Silvertown Tunnel claim it has worsened congestion in south London since it opened a month ago.

They point to “jam cam” images and Google Map data which suggests long tailbacks in the evening on the A102 from just south of the Thames to the Sun in the Sands roundabout.

They say the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel has increased the number of vehicles heading south on the A102 as it “funnels” additional traffic onto the three-lane carriageway, in addition to the southbound vehicles accessing the A102 from the adjacent Blackwall Tunnel.
