The road where it crosses Orsett Fen via a viaduct will be an unsightly concrete mess on the only green belt area in Thurrock. The noise and pollution created will be immense and this will get worse with all the rubbish associated with a three lane motorway. The cost is a very high price to pay for a scheme that only results in a minor reduction to the traffic flow across the Dartford Crossing. The damage caused to Orsett a conservation village with the connecting roads has not been fully appreciated as no three dimensional model has ever been produced to illustrate this to the residents. These complaints have been raised many times but there seems no stopping this scheme. Whilst The Dartford Crossing needs help this is not the way to deal with it and at the end of the day traffic is just sent on a detour which returns it to the existing M25 already overloaded at that point .
