LCCI gives cautious backing for a new river crossing between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe

In our latest submission to TfL, LCCI welcomed a new cycle and pedestrian crossing between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe, on the condition that the new crossing is built alongside road crossings further East.

LCCI broadly supports the proposals put forward in Transport for London’s (TfLs) consultation on a new river crossing between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf. By 2027 the capital is forecast to reach a population of over ten million citizens. Half of London’s population calls East London home, yet there are just two road river crossings east of Tower Bridge. Without sustained investment in multiple river crossings to support connectivity, LCCI believes the East London success story is at risk.
