The Silvertown Tunnel, which opened on April 7, connects Greenwich and Docklands with a toll for users. London Mayor Sadiq Khan believes it will improve congestion and air quality near the Blackwall Tunnel. However, some residents protested, claiming it could escalate traffic issues. Critics, including local residents, suggest repurposing the tunnel for buses and bikes instead. Transport for London promotes frequent public transport options, but opponents contend that the primary benefit serves heavy goods vehicles, alleging greenwashing in the initiative to promote sustainable travel.
The Silvertown tunnel opened this morning, connecting Greenwich to the Docklands, with tolls charged to users to manage congestion and air quality concerns.
Transport for London (TfL) claims the new tunnel offers sustainable transport options, but opponents argue it primarily serves heavy goods vehicles and exacerbates traffic.
