While I consider there is a need the lower Thames crossing I personally consider the current proposal unworkable and complicated. In my view the crossing should be built on the Isle of Grain at the site of the Old Power station and Oil Refinery which is a now a large unused brownfield site and was the area originally considered for the crossing. When the road to the grain site was upgraded it was designed to be further uprated to motorway standards and interconnect with 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.
