Proposed new charges for Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnels
Transport for London (TfL) is consulting on user charges for the Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels once the new Silvertown Tunnel opens in spring 2025.
The charges are aimed at helping manage traffic and to repay the construction costs. The charges will apply between 06:00 and 22:00, seven days a week.
The proposed charges are:
Off peak - £1.50 for cars, motorbikes and small vans, £2.50 for large vans, and £5 for HGVs registered for AutoPay.
Peak (6am to 10am northbound, 4pm to 7pm southbound Monday to Friday) - £2.50 for motorbikes, £4 for cars and small vans, £6.50 for large vans, and £10 for HGVs.
These charges would also apply during off-peak charging hours for vehicles not registered for AutoPay.
Further details of the proposed charges can be found here:
The consultation on charge levels, including discounts and exemptions, runs until 3 September 2024.
Logistics UK will be meeting with Deputy Mayor for Transport next week and we will use the opportunity to raise our concerns about the level of charges proposed for freight vehicles.
