Background
Residents of Redbridge, Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Greenwich, and nearby areas face limited river crossings. Blackwall Tunnel and Dartford Crossing are congested, and the Woolwich Ferry is often delayed with long queues and limited service. This causes longer journeys, wasting fuel and raising emissions. A bridge at Woolwich, where the Thames is narrow, would ease traffic, cut pollution, and benefit thousands daily.
