Transport for London (TfL) will introduce charges for the Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnels starting April 7 to mitigate congestion, enhance travel efficiency, and manage air quality. The charging structure includes peak and off-peak rates and promotes the use of new public transport options. Residents can enjoy discounts, including free fares on new routes for the first year. Charges encourage compliance, with fines for late payments being significant, emphasizing the system's accountability. The initiative aims to bolster cross-river transport infrastructure.
In a bid to alleviate congestion and improve air quality, TfL plans to implement charges at both Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnels post-April 7.
TfL emphasizes the necessity of charges to prevent increasing traffic, which leads to delays and deteriorates air quality during peak hours.
The Silvertown Tunnel will allow better public transport and a range of discounts for local residents, enhancing cross-river travel options for the community.
Failure to pay the tunnel charges on time can result in a substantial penalty, highlighting the importance of timely payments to avoid fines.
