RAC comments on Lower Thames Crossing proposals

RAC head of external affairs Pete Williams said: “The Dartford Crossing has more than 100,000 crossings every day, and anyone using this stretch of road will know how congested it can become. Plans for a new crossing are therefore broadly welcome.

“While it is early in the process, it will be important to make sure that when construction begins it provides minimal disruption to existing road users in the area, in particular to those using the stretches where the route links up with the M2 at its southern end and the M25 at the northern end.”
