Dartford Crossing

It joins Dartford and Thurrock across the River Thames, forming part of London’s orbital M25 motorway and the furthest-downstream road crossing of the Thames. The Dartford Crossing is used for southbound traffic, was completed in 1991, is a four-lane cable-stayed bridge, designed by Homberg and Partner and Kvaerner Technology Limited. It was built by a joint venture between Kvaerner Construction Limited and Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.

It is a toll bridge and accommodates four lanes of southbound traffic from the M 25. When closed, owing to high winds for example, one of the two adjacent tunnels is used instead. With daily traffic flows of 150,000 vehicles the crossing suffers regular traffic congestion.

When built, the Dartford Crossing was only the second bridge on the River Thames east (downstream) of London Bridge constructed in over a thousand years, and it is currently the only bridge east of Tower Bridge (the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge would be another).

The historic reason for this is that bridges prohibited tall ships and other large ships from reaching the Port of London. High Speed 1 passes under the bridge (between the bridge supports) on the north (Essex) side and tunnels under the river just east of the bridge. The rail line passes over the exit ramps of both of the road tunnels.
