Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Lower Thames Crossing will enhance connectivity to the (1) Channel Tunnel, (2) Port of Dover, (3) Port of Felixstowe, (4) Port of Tilbury, and (5) DP World Gateway; and if so, how.
The Lower Thames Crossing creates a new link between the A2 and the M25, reducing the burden on the busy Dartford Crossing. This improves many journeys terminating in or passing through the South East and East of England, thereby enhancing connectivity to the (1) Channel Tunnel, (2) Port of Dover, (3) Port of Felixstowe, (4) Port of Tilbury and (5) DP World Gateway.
