A PROJECT to build the UK’s largest road tunnel has been granted £590m by the government reports the BBC.
Constructing the Lower Thames Crossing, linking Tilbury and Gravesend, will cost an estimated £10bn.
Plans for the 14.5-mile (23km) route were approved in March after a 16-year process that has already cost £1.2bn.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the crossing would aid “smoother, less congested passage of vital goods from Europe to our regions”.
