Repair work on the northern lift of the Woolwich foot tunnel, which connects Greenwich and Newham, is set to start soon after being out of service since August 2022. Both councils have agreed to share the repair costs equally. Initially projected for completion by January 2025, Newham councillor Sarah Ruiz indicated that work should be completed within the next year. Currently, an agreement between the councils is pending, causing a delay in the start of repairs, though both remain committed to the project.
"Work to repair a lift in a tunnel linking two London boroughs on either side of the River Thames should begin 'shortly'. The northern lift of the Woolwich foot tunnel, which runs from Old Woolwich in Greenwich to North Woolwich in Newham, has been out of service since August 2022."
"The repair, which will be funded by both councils equally, was originally hoped to have been completed by January 2025. Newham councillor Sarah Ruiz stated that the work would be completed 'sometime within the next year'."
