Delay announced to Rotherhithe bridge consultation

Transport for London’s investment delivery planning director David Hughes has told a London Assembly committee that a public consultation for the new Rotherhithe Crossing has been delayed, so that a value engineering exercise can be carried out to ensure it can be delivered within a £330m budget. The new river crossing for pedestrians and cyclists between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf aims to relieve existing transport links and support growth in the Canada Water and Isle of Dogs areas. If built, the bridge will be the world’s longest lifting bridge, at 90m high, and spanning 180m across the Thames.
