💨 Abstract

The Silvertown Tunnel, a new £2.2 billion river crossing in London, has opened to drivers, causing concerns among locals about increased pollution and congestion. Despite TfL's claims of improvement and a boost to public transport links, the tunnel is only for vehicle traffic, and walking or cycling through it is prohibited. Residents and campaigners argue that the tunnel should be repurposed for cycling and walking to reduce pollution and benefit local communities.
