Lower Thames Crossing delay 'opportunity to make tunnel greener'
Video report by ITV News Meridian's Tony Green
Following Highways England's decision to withdraw its application for the Lower Thames Crossing in November, engineer Alistair Lenczner says it is an 'opportunity to make the tunnel greener'.
The road tunnel would have connected Kent and Essex, near Gravesend, with the aim of relieving congestion at Dartford.
After years of designs and consultation, the plan was withdrawn after "early feedback" from the Planning Inspectorate.
However, some think that the tunnel should not be built at all.
Highways England says it will resubmit its plans, which will then be considered by the Department for Transport.
