Due to a triathlon event taking place in east London this weekend Silvertown tunnel will be closed during the following times:

Saturday 9 August: from 7am to 6.30pm

Sunday 10 August: from 4.30am to 6.30pm

During these times, traffic will be diverted via the Blackwall Tunnel, with additional signage in place for high-sided HGVs.

Please note that Tunnel User Charges will remain in place through the Blackwall Tunnel during the closure.

Public transport changes:

The Silvertown Cycle Shuttle Service will be suspended until the tunnel reopens each day.

Bus routes SL4 and 129 will operate a split service on either side of the river.

Customers can still use route 108 to cross the river, or take the Jubilee line from North Greenwich to Canary Wharf or Canning Town to connect with SL4 or 129 on the other side.

The Red Robin

That’s good planning

So much for helping to reduce match day congestion

How many people taking part/watching the triathlon event compared to going to the game today ?  Why does one take precedence over the other ?

Because the T100 was announced in December 2024, so quite a while before our fixtures were announced.
