The article reports on the debate surrounding the Silvertown tunnel, which opened eight weeks prior. Campaigners from the Stop Silvertown Coalition assert that traffic congestion has worsened on the A102, linking this to the new tunnel's opening. Conversely, Transport for London (TfL) claims reduced traffic around the Blackwall tunnel, attributing it to both the tunnel and a new toll for usage. Observations during peak hours suggest smoother flow, but opinions diverge on the effectiveness of the new infrastructure without published analysis to support TfL's claims.
"The Silvertown tunnel campaigners argue that it is worsening traffic around South London, especially the A102, despite claims from TfL about reduced congestion at Blackwall."
"Transport for London asserts that the Silvertown tunnel has improved conditions at the Blackwall tunnel, although critical analyses of traffic levels are pending."
