Bridge East London

The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has released this artist's impression of its proposed Bridge East London to cross the River Thames, linking Beckton with Thamesmead at Gallions Reach. Designed by architects HOK and design consultants Arup, the new £600m bridge would include a segregated cycle lane and its central span would be high enough for ships to sail underneath. Transport for London (TfL) will begin a 10-week public consultation on river crossings in east London on 7 July (CLICK).
