    Thames Gateway Bridge finally killed off to boost new homes and DLR

    https://greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/07/17/thames-gateway-bridge-thamesmead-dlr-beckton-riverside/

    The bridge should have been built before the Silvertown tunnel.
    The main reason it didn't get built was that there were no acceptable road connections for it south of the river.

    Went through the Blackwall Tunnel northbound last Wednesday morning at 0930. No queues on the approach road.

    There’s dual carriageway from Thamesmead all along the river to Erith.

    There is a clear line of derelict land they had earmarked for it from the the edge of the river to the roundabout next to HMP Belmarsh.

    Unfortunately the dual carriageway doesn't link up to similar roads.

    TfL has released the first detailed data about the effects of the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnel
    - Weekday traffic at Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels is down during the week and up at weekends
    - Weekend traffic through Woolwich Ferry is up 58 per cent
    - Traffic is also up at Rotherhithe Tunnel, but down slightly at Tower Bridge
    - SL4 bus to Canary Wharf has 6,700 users each day, but cycle shuttle has only 125-130

    Set up an account before the tolls came into operation, used blackwall tunnel last weekend, during tolls charge times, as of yet, I've not had anything on my account. I have checked and my account is set up with my car reg on it.

    How do think public services are paid for? Or do you live on a private island for 1 somewhere?

    Do you pay at month end too? Ive got an account with my vehicles on it, but can't say as ive noticed if ULEZ / Blackwall Charge / Dartford Charge comes out immediately, or in one go as the end.

    Gatwick Drop-Off comes out your account before you're even on each roundabout coming out of either terminal ffs

    All worked okay for me so far. Traffic much lighter through the Blackwall....

    ...... just looked at emails - appears Dart Charge comes out a day or so after each day you use it

    I think the payment comes out at the end of the month mate.

    Hi mate, not to worry you, but check you’ve ticked your car for ‘autopay’ as I’ve recently been stung by this (twice) and the TFL website to me is very ambiguous.
    The TFL system runs different to the Dartford crossing, where adding a car automatically registers it for any crossing and any auto payment you may have set up on the Dartcharge website.
    If you are looking for TFL to automatically charge, you need to make sure your car has the autopay box ticked, and you have to delve a little deeper into its pages to find it.
    Hopefully you’re all good, but just thought I would share as it proper miffed me!
