Traffic Information

Silvertown Tunnel Congestion & Traffic Routing

The Silvertown Tunnel acts as a modern relief conduit operating directly alongside the legacy Blackwall bores. Designed to minimize heavy freight clustering around the Greenwich Peninsula, this route ensures cross-river transit flows are distributed much more efficiently across East London.

Before executing route transitions, leverage our live diagnostic camera reel to monitor merging speeds on the northern and southern approach systems.

User Warning: Toll regulations are enforced across this structure using automated gantries. Read the comprehensive London Tunnel Charges Guide to cross-reference full user-pricing parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions — Silvertown Infrastructure

Are buses and commercial coaches allowed inside the Silvertown underpass?

Yes. Unlike the restricted southbound Blackwall bore, the Silvertown Tunnel features a custom multi-tier geometric profile explicitly built to accommodate heavy double-decker zero-emission bus routes and large freight fleets safely.

Does the Silvertown Tunnel fall inside London's active emission zones?

Yes. The full approach infrastructure and landing rings across both sides of the Thames sit entirely within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) perimeter boundaries. Non-compliant configurations encounter default daily fee mandates.
