Sir Sadiq Khan emphasized that the Silvertown Tunnel will "transform life for those in south-east London and those in east London who've experienced, for years now, record congestion, poor air quality, and an impact on productivity." He noted the tunnel aims to alleviate these issues while featuring dedicated lanes for buses and cyclists, addressing transportation needs and enhancing travel across the Thames. His excitement reflects a vision of improved infrastructure for community benefit.
Despite environmental campaigners' concerns over its potential impact on congestion and air quality, Khan called the Silvertown Tunnel a "great piece of infrastructure" that was built "under budget, in record time". He expressed pride in the project, stating it will "revolutionise travel in that part of London," showcasing his confidence in its long-term benefits for local areas.
