Silvertown Tunnel
The Silvertown road tunnel connects east London across the Thames, with new bus services and charges on both it and the Blackwall Tunnel.[1]
Current position
TfL’s July 2026 monitoring report reviews the first year of operation. A small inflation-based increase to tunnel charges is due on 21 September 2026.
Benefits
- TfL’s first-year monitoring reports shorter peak journeys, fewer over-height closures at Blackwall and increased bus use.
