💨 Abstract

The UK government has approved a £8.95 billion 14-mile road and tunnel project connecting Kent and Essex beneath the Thames. This is aimed at alleviating congestion at the Dartford Crossing and will consist of two 2.6-mile tunnels with a 70mph speed limit on three lanes. The project has already cost £1.2 billion in planning and consultation.
