Lower Thames Crossing delayed to 2034! Important to note: 🛣️There have been NO legal challenges. 🛣️The scheme will proceed before it is known if it is good value for taxpayers (as a Full Business Case won’t be produced until 2028)

Chris Todd @TransportActio2 said "Dartford tolls have already risen 40% and will only go to go up with Lower Thames Crossing costs going through the roof. Seven years of construction chaos for only five years relief at Dartford. It's time to pull the plug" https://t.co/0cCQAVABwL

Chris Todd @TransportActio2 said "Those cheering on the Lower Thames Crossing will find themselves short-changed, as costs have predictably ballooned. This will result in higher tolls at Dartford and LTC for decades" 7yrs chaos for 5yrs relief at Dartford? https://t.co/cJM9yT1cmS
