Dartford Crossing's tunnels and bridge built at different times
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 7 Oct, 06:14 · Archive
The Dartford Crossing has two tunnels and one bridge, developed over nearly 30 years in separate phases.
The Dartford Crossing comprises two tunnels and a single bridge, but these were not constructed as one project. Instead, the crossing evolved over nearly 30 years, with different components added at different times to meet growing traffic demands.
The crossing now handles around 150,000 vehicles daily. The separate construction phases allowed the crossing to expand its capacity gradually to accommodate the growth in traffic using the M25.
