Further Blackwall Tunnel closures announced

Three further part-closures of the Blackwall Tunnel, including on Sunday, have been announced.

The southbound route will be closed from 23:00 BST on Saturday until 05:00 on Monday to allow for carriageway works ahead of a new river crossing, Transport for London (TfL) says.

The southbound tunnel will also close for six hours at 23:00 on Friday 11 October and 18 October, in addition to regular weekly Saturday overnight closures.

The Silvertown Tunnel is due to open in 2025, after which drivers using both tunnels will pay up to £4 at peak times to cross the Thames.

The Blackwall Tunnel - which has already seen a series of weekend closures this year - will remain open northbound, according to TfL.

The Woolwich Ferry, Rotherhithe Tunnel and Tower Bridge are all expected to be busier.

The 108 bus, the only route that operates through the Blackwall Tunnel, will instead run between Lewisham and North Greenwich, and from Canning Town to Stratford.

Passengers who complete their journeys using the Jubilee line will automatically be refunded.
