The Thames Tideway Tunnel, London's £5 billion super sewer, has been fully connected to the city's sewage system after a decade of construction. This 25km tunnel will curb sewage spills into the River Thames by 95%, significantly reducing pollution in the iconic waterway. Key connections were established at several notable locations around London. The project is expected to deliver long-term benefits for biodiversity and public health, although it still requires storm testing before being fully operational. The investment is seen as crucial for improving waterway cleanliness nationwide.
This is another significant step forward with this final connection complete, the super sewer is fully up and running and protecting the Thames.
The infrastructure project, funded by Thames Water customers, will reduce sewage discharges into the Thames and create lasting benefits for biodiversity, recreation and public health.
