Recent claims about increased congestion due to the new Silvertown Tunnel have been contradicted by preliminary evidence from Transport for London. Their analysis indicates that the opening of the tunnel has significantly improved bus services, notably Route 108. The increased road capacity and diversion options have contributed to a nearly 25% reduction in excess wait times for buses. Despite a full assessment taking time, early indications show measurable benefits, especially in reliability for passengers reliant on the service for daily activities.
Transport for London has observed that preliminary figures indicate a reduction in delays on Route 108 following the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel.
Deputy Mayor for Transport, Seb Dance, emphasized the transformative impact of the Silvertown Tunnel, particularly in reducing congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel.
