The Silvertown Tunnel is set to open on 7 April 2025.
In relation to the London Lorry Control Scheme (LLCS), the tunnel and its connecting roads within the London Boroughs of Newham and Greenwich will be included in the Excluded Route Network (ERN).
Hauliers do not need to apply for permission to use the tunnel. However, it remains essential to carefully plan all routes to ensure drivers stay compliant with the scheme’s rules.
The LLCS Traffic Management Order (TMO) will be updated to reflect these changes, along with other minor amendments. A Notice of Proposal will be published soon. Photo by Stephen Craven, Wikimedia commons.
