Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnel tolls will not be scrapped

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has advised motorists that they will be charged £4 to use either tunnel at peak times and £1.50 off peak and at weekends. There will be no charge between 10pm and 6am on any day of the week.

While an exact date has yet to be anno9unced, the charges will be imposed from Spring next year when the Silvertown tunnel opens. At present, the Blackwall tunnel, which is used by about 100,000 motorists a day, is free, and has been since it opened in 1897.

The Silvertown tunnel connects North Greenwich with the Royal Docks. It is claimed that journeys could be made up to 20 minutes quicker by halving pressure on the adjacent Blackwall tunnel.
