The recently opened Silvertown Tunnel, London's first under-Thames tunnel in three decades, will face 17 nights of closures for snagging works soon after its debut. These maintenance operations will necessitate diversions for drivers and buses to the Blackwall Tunnel or other routes like Canning Town and North Greenwich. Although the Silvertown bus service is currently free, Transport for London (TfL) has not clarified whether the alternative transport options will also be complimentary during the closures. Safety messaging is being communicated to drivers in advance of these works.
'In order to facilitate maintenance and snagging works, the Silvertown Tunnel will be subject to overnight closures from 10pm to up until 6am on a number of dates in late May and June.'
The Silvertown Tunnel bus service is currently free, but TfL hasn't yet confirmed if these alternative journeys will also be free of charge.
