Rising cost of the LTC. Length of time to complete the project is estimated at approx. 5 years Cost could rise again substantially. Increase in congestion during construction due to Construction Vehicle movements and road or lane closures. Negative impact on society and the environment. Complicated junctions and access routes. It seems very likely that drivers will end up on the wrong route and if heading towards the tunnel entrances by mistake there is no provision to exit the LTC before the tunnels, leading to extra mileage, journey time and two-way tunnel costs. A Rail Crossing east of the Dartford Crossing, maybe as a combined project, would be of Futuristic benefit and would surely be more economically viable if combined with a road tunnel.
