The existing route for the new Lower Thames Crossing will not make the slightest difference to the congestion at the Dartford Crossing. The road should be M11, A130 and across the Thames at Canvey. Most of this route is already in place therefore you could reduce costs massively. This would alleviate the need for M11 traffic travelling to Kent even using the M25 reducing the traffic considerably. This would also give the residents of Canvey Island an additional route off of the Island , this has long been requested but always ignored. The current route for the Lower Thames Crossing is not fit for the purpose it supposedly is set to resolve!
