I am in the favor of the scheme given that south east of London and England has chronic lack of river crossings. As someone who is regularly stuck hours on end at the Dartford crossing which clearly cannot cope for the last 20 years with volume of traffic a relief south at Lower Thames Crossing is much more welcome. Should the initial motorway plans in the 60s avoided the merging of the northern network onto M25 maybe this problem would have been avoided altogether as all the traffic from the north has to use the M25 and given the frequent congestion and time lost on western axis around Heathrow, Dartford will be always a preferred option for anyone travelling from the north to south east of the country and vice versa. London mayors have proposed and scrapped all previous schemes for additional river crossings in south east London. I would be looking forward to Highways England finally introducing and providing a benefit that many have failed to do so before.
