In developing their proposals for the Lower Thames Crossing, Highways England is seeking to create the right balance between: facilitating economic growth, including through new developments; improving connectivity; optimising the performance of the local and strategic road networks; and meeting the needs of local communities. No decision on the final design of the scheme, including a link road to the Port of Tilbury, has yet been taken.
