While I consider there is a need for anther Thames crossing I personally consider the current proposal as the right idea but in the wrong place. In my view the tunnel should be built at Grain on the site of the Old Power station and Refinery which is a large brownfield site and the are originally considered for the crossing. The when the road to the grain site was upgraded it was designed to be further uprated to motorway standards and interconnect at the large junction where the A2 becomes the M2. The proposed junction at Gravesend East is overly complicated to enable it to fit into such a small area.
