The decision to proceed with the current Lower Thames crossing was made without adequate consideration of the alternative which was designated as scheme A14 in the original evaluations. Scheme A14 is a long tunnel from south of the A2 (highway) to north of the A13(highway). This long tunnel solution is probably superior environmentally, economically and socially to the proposed scheme. An analysis of the validity (or otherwise) of this statement is required before proceeding with the proposed scheme.
